Wind Gust Detection and Impact Prediction for Wind Turbines

Wind gusts on a scale from 100 m to 1000 m are studied due to their significant influence on wind turbine performance. A detecting and tracking algorithm is proposed to extract gusts from a wind field and track their movement. The algorithm utilizes the “peak over threshold method,” Moore-Neighbor t...
