Sodar - NREL Scintec MFAS Wind Profiler, Decker Ranch Airstrip - Raw Data
공공데이터포털
**Overview** The dataset includes 15-minute average wind speed and direction records from 30 m to 330 m above ground level (AGL) in 10-m range gates. Data were collected by a Scintec MFAS wind profiler installed at the Decker Ranch in Oregon, about 4.4 km southeast of Kent, Ore., and are intended for validating WFIP2 model improvements. **Data Details** Instrument location: * N 45°09'54.42" (N 45.165117) * W120°39'20.87" (W 120.655799) Instrument clock and computer system time set to UTC. **Data Quality** The Scintec MFAS wind profiler instrument installed at the Decker Ranch is capable of measuring at heights up to 1000 m. For this study, the maximum height was set to 330 m. The instrument was oriented to true north, so no corrections to the wind direction should be made. Scintec wind profilers come with the APRun software package, which performs data collection and quality control (QC), among other functions. Version 1.46 of APRun was used in this study. The APRun manual states: *The primary results are checked against local signal quality criteria, combined signal quality criteria and two-dimensional spatial/temporal consistency tests. Any data that does not pass all quality control tests is devalidated and removed*. Devalidation means replacing the value with an error value, usually a series of ‘9’s, such as 99.99 or 999.99. Not all devalidated data are actually removed from the *.mnd files, so the user must filter them out. There are some error flags that indicate the type of error, but these are not included in the *.mnd files, and we have no access to them. Because QC already has been performed by APRun, our QC procedures consisted of removing samples with error values and performing a visual inspection of the data to see if larger patterns indicated any kind of problem. There are 623 gaps of two hours or less and 61 gaps of more than two hours. The longest gap is 15.31 days, from 2016-12-07 03:00Z to 2016-12-22 10:30Z. All gaps that exceed two hours are listed in file: Decker_Ranch_gaps.txt.
Wind Turbine / Reviewed Data
공공데이터포털
**Overview** The SUMR-D CART2 turbine data are recorded by the CART2 wind turbine's supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system for the Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) SUMR-D project located at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Flatirons Campus. For the project, the CART2 wind turbine was outfitted with a highly flexible rotor specifically designed and constructed for the project. More details about the project can be found here: https://sumrwind.com/. The data include power, loads, and meteorological information from the turbine during startup, operation, and shutdown, and when it was parked and idle. **Data Details** Additional files are attached: sumr_d_5-Min_Database.mat - a database file in MATLAB format of this dataset, which can be used to search for desired data files; sumr_d_5-Min_Database.xlsx - a database file in Microsoft Excel format of this dataset, which can be used to search for desired data files; loadcartU.m - this script loads in a CART data file and puts it in your workspace as a Matlab matrix (you can call this script from your own Matlab scripts to do your own analysis); charts.mat - this is a dependency file needed for the other scripts (it allows you to make custom preselections for cartPlotU.m); cartLoadHdrU.m - this script loads in the header file information for the data file (the header is embedded in each data file at the beginning); cartPlotU.m - this is a graphic user interface (GUI) that allows you to interactively look at different channels (to use it, run the script in Matlab, and load in the data file(s) of interest; from there, you can select different channels and plot things against each other; note that this script has issues with later versions of MATLAB; the preferred version to use is R2011b). **Data Quality** Wind turbine blade loading data were calibrated using blade gravity calibrations prior to data collection and throughout the data collection period. Blade loading was also checked for data quality following data collection as strain gauge measurements drifted throughout the data collection. These drifts in the strain gauge measurements were removed in post processing.
