Description
Summary:Abstract The power generation performance of wind turbines has consistently been a paramount concern for wind power operators, maintainers, and manufacturers, as it directly determines the profitability of wind farms. However, due to the combined influence of complex environmental conditions within wind farms and inherent deficiencies in wind turbine design, significant variations in power generation performance persist among turbines of the same model. This discrepancy can be attributed to two crucial factors: site conditions and operational efficiency. To achieve more precise and systematic diagnostic work on the power generation performance of wind turbines, this paper focuses on three factors: air density, turbulence intensity, and yaw adaptability. Based on this, three evaluation and diagnosis methods are proposed, including a conversion method for air density based on two‐dimensional interpolation, a turbulence correction method based on the zero‐turbulence curve, and a yaw adaptability diagnosis method based on the convergence degree. Finally, the effectiveness of these proposed methods is verified through the analysis of actual wind field data.
