Improvement of wind farm performance by means of spinner anemometry

Spinner anemometer

Funded by: EUDP

The project will pave the way for commercialising an innovative concept, the spinner anemometer, developed by Risø DTU to determine wind turbine yaw errors with high accuracy. This will be done by demonstrating how spinner anemometers mounted on wind turbines in an existing wind farm can improve energy production by 1-3%.
