    Prospects of optimization of energy production by LIDAR assisted control of wind turbines
    (2011) Schlipf, David; Kapp, Stefan; Anger, Jan; Bischoff, Oliver; Hofsäß, Martin; Rettenmeier, Andreas; Kühn, Martin
    In the presented work two approaches to increase the energy production of wind turbines are studied assuming the usage of a wind speed measurement provided by a nacelle based LIDAR system: The first approach uses the knowledge of the incoming wind speed to assist variable speed control. The second approach uses the wind direction information measured by a LIDAR system for yaw control. From this first analysis only marginal benefit can be gained by the LIDAR assisted speed control, but an increase of energy production by a couple of percent can be expected by LIDAR assisted yaw control.
