Wind energy related measurements with a commercial SODAR system
Abstract
Wind and turbulence measurements of a commercial miniSODAR system are compared to sonic and cup anemometers to verify the usability of SODAR measurements. The correlations of wind speed data from a SODAR and from cup and ultrasonic anemometers are presented together with a turbulence intensity classification and a power curve for a wind turbine.
