Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for estimating wind speed from telemetry data. The object of the present invention is, in particular, to determine the wind speed from telemetry data collected by a lidar, radar, or sodar system.

[0002] The present invention relates to a method based on the reconstruction of the mean wind speed based on data resulting from measurements made successively or continuously at different points in space by a lidar, radar, or sodar system.

Background Art

[0003] Methods for estimating wind speed by reconstructing data obtained from measurements made by a lidar, radar, or sodar system are known. In the state of the art, two alternative types of reconstruction have been found. The first method consists of considering the mean wind speed to be equal to the mean over a measurement time interval of one tenth of the norm of the instantaneous wind speed vector. This method is generally referred to as the "scalar method". The second method consists of considering the mean wind speed to be equal to the norm of the mean wind speed vector over a measurement interval of one tenth. This method is generally referred to as the "vector method".

[0004] When lidar measurements are made under conditions of strong atmospheric turbulence, i.e., conditions where there are significant variations in wind direction or wind speed over a ten-minute time interval, the estimates obtained by existing methods are significantly different from the actual wind speed. A cup anemometer is regarded as a standard tool for measuring wind speed.

[0005] In fact, under conditions of low atmospheric turbulence, i.e., conditions where the variations in wind direction or wind speed are small over a ten-minute time interval, the relative error between the wind speed estimated by the state-of-the-art method and the wind speed measured by a cup anemometer is less than 1%. However, under conditions of strong atmospheric turbulence, the relative error between the wind speed estimated by the state-of-the-art method and the wind speed measured by a cup anemometer can reach an absolute value of 4%.

[0006] It is known in the state of the art that a standard tool for determining wind speed is a cup anemometer. The determination of wind speed is closely related to the measuring device used and the transfer function used for the determination.

[0007] The present invention in particular proposes a method for estimating wind speed that enables overcoming the drawbacks of state-of-the-art methods, and / or proposes a method for estimating a wind speed such that the determined wind speed value is as close as possible to the wind speed value measured by a cup anemometer, and / or proposes a method for estimating a wind speed such that the error in the determined wind speed value is less than 1% under conditions of strong atmospheric turbulence and under conditions of low atmospheric turbulence, and / or proposes a method for estimating a wind speed that is not sensitive to the atmospheric conditions under which the measurement is made for the purpose. **Disclosure of the Invention**

[0029] The embodiments described below are in no way limiting. In particular, when this selection of characteristics is sufficient to provide a technical advantage or to distinguish the present invention with respect to the state of the prior art, (even if this selection is separated within a phrase containing these other characteristics), variants of the present invention may be considered to include only the selection of the characteristics described, separately from the other characteristics described.

[0030] FIG. 1 shows an example of an optical system 1 for acquiring telemetry data. According to the example of FIG. 1, the optical system 1 emits five optical measurement beams each extending along different axes a1, a2, a3, a4, and a5. As a non-limiting example, this system may be a Lidar type LIDAR with continuous measurement technology or a Lidar with pulse measurement technology. In this example, it is assumed that the average wind speed in the plane p1 is estimated. By extending this method to additional spatial dimensions, one skilled in the art can also estimate the wind speed in space. According to the example of FIG. 1, the axis a5 is vertical, the axis a1 is inclined by an angle θ (here equal to 28°) with respect to the axis a5 towards magnetic north, the axis a2 is inclined by an angle θ with respect to the axis a5 towards the south, the axis a3 is inclined by an angle γ (here equal to 28°) with respect to the axis a5 towards the east, and the axis a4 is inclined by an angle γ with respect to the axis a5 towards the west. The planes p2 and p3 form an angle α here equal to 90°. In this example, the angle θ formed by the axes a1 and a2 with respect to the axis a5, and the angle γ formed by the axes a3 and a4 with respect to the axis a5 are the same. One skilled in the art can also adapt the method according to the present invention when these angles are different.

[0031] In measurement, wind can be characterized by its direction and its force or magnitude. In practice, wind is defined by a wind vector containing three components (U, V, W). Generally, U represents the component of the wind vector along the axis from north to south, V represents the component of the wind vector along the axis from east to west, and W represents the component of the wind vector on the axis perpendicular to the ground surface at the measurement point. This wind vector is measured by measuring the displacement velocity of particles along each of the beams. The instantaneous values measured along each of the beams are the projection components S Ni 、S Si 、S Ei 、S Wi 、and S Vi . In this example, the system measures five measurement values S Ni 、S Si 、S Ei 、S Wi, and S Vi are delivered. Thus, measurements are available approximately every 0.8 seconds. Thus, over the time interval Ω, M projection components S equal to the value obtained by dividing Ω (in seconds) by 4 Ni , S Si , S Ei , S Wi , and S Vi exist. Then, the components (U, V, W) of the wind vector need to be reconstructed from the measured instantaneous projections S Ni , S Si , S Ei , S Wi , and S Vi . In practice, the method for processing telemetry data according to the present invention to estimate wind speed can be implemented for real-time measured data, or stored data such as measured stored data, statistical data, or unmeasured data (e.g., data from simulations).

[0032] Preferably, the instantaneous wind speed vector based on the implementation of the method for processing telemetry data according to the present invention to estimate wind speed is measured by telemetry, for example, by LIDAR. Preferably, the method for processing telemetry data according to the present invention is implemented for data regarding the instantaneous wind speed vector measured by telemetry, for example, by LIDAR.

[0033] A typical case of using wind measurements is the measurement of the power available to generate wind turbine energy, in which case the measurement interval T is typically a 10-minute time interval, which enables the separation of the energy generated by the wind turbine. This interval is called the reference time interval T. The method for processing telemetry data according to the present invention enables the estimation of the average wind speed over this reference interval. According to a specific embodiment of the first alternative form of the method according to the present invention, the method of hybridization by temporal combination is In step A, two components U Ω and V Ω of the wind vector along the north / south axis and the east / west axis respectively, based on which, a step of reconstructing the average wind speed vector over the divided time interval Ω, where the component U Ω is the component of the average wind speed vector in the spatial direction d1 corresponding to the north / south axis extending in the spatial plane p1 corresponding to the plane tangent to the ground at the level of the measurement point, and the component V Ω is the component of the average wind speed vector in the spatial direction d2 corresponding to the east / west axis extending in the spatial plane p1,
