Abstract

Various models based on measure-correlate-predict (MCP) methods have been used to estimate the long-term wind turbine power output (WTPO) at target sites for which only short-term meteorological data are available. The MCP models used to date share the postulate that the influence of air density variation is of little importance, assume the standard value of 1.225 kg m−3 and only consider wind turbines (WTs) with blade pitch control.
