Research on short-term offshore wind power prediction based on sodar wind measurement

The anemometer tower cannot be well adapted to wind measurement needs due to its inherent limitations in areas with low wind speeds and complicated offshore terrain, but the advantages of sodar can well meet the prediction research of offshore wind power. In this paper, the results of measuring the wind speed and wind direction by the sodar and the anemometer tower are compared and analyzed while the specific power model is verified using the sodar measurement data. The test results show that the sodar can replace the anemometer tower to complete the preliminary work of power prediction in specific environments.
