Description
The long-range and short-range WindScanner systems (LRWS and SRWS),
multi-Doppler lidar instruments, when combined together can map the turbulent
flow around a wind turbine and at the same time measure mean flow conditions
over an entire region such as a wind farm. As the WindScanner technology is
novel, performing field campaigns with the WindScanner systems requires a
methodology that will maximize the benefits of conducting WindScanner-based
experiments. Such a methodology, made up of 10 steps, is presented and discussed
through its application in a pilot experiment that took place in a complex
and forested site in Portugal, where for the first time the two WindScanner
systems operated simultaneously. Overall, this resulted in a detailed site
selection criteria, a well-thought-out experiment layout, novel flow mapping
methods and high-quality flow observations, all of which are presented in
this paper.
