One-point Integral and Turbulent wind Characteristics at the FINO1 Platform (2007-2008)

Dataset: One-point Integral and Turbulent wind Characteristics at the FINO1 Platform (2007-2008)

Authors: Cheynet, E.

Description:

This dataset offers a comprehensive collection of wind measurements derived from continuous sonic anemometer recordings at the FINO1 offshore platform during the years 2007 and 2008. The measurements were conducted to investigate the properties and characteristics of wind turbulence in the marine atmospheric boundary layer, especially in relation to atmospheric stability. The data provide insights that have potential implications for the design and safety of offshore structures, particularly wind turbines, as they relate to wind loads. The database includes aggregated mean flow data alongside one-point turbulent characteristics.

Content Overview:

Format: Matlab (.mat) files.

Data Duration: The dataset spans two years, from 2007 to 2008.

Volume: 24 separate .mat files, approximately one file for each month of the two-year period.

Measurement Tool: Sonic anemometer positioned at the FINO1 offshore platform.

Primary Features: Aggregated mean flow and one-point turbulent characteristics.

Relevance and Applications:

Exploration of the validity of various turbulence models (e.g., Kaimal or Mann spectral models) in offshore environments.

Study of the single-point auto-spectral and cross-spectral densities of wind turbulence.

Assessment of the applicability of certain standards, such as IEC 61400-1 and IEC 61400-3, especially in the context of the North Sea wind turbines.
