The PNL single-tower measurement model of rotationally sampled turbulent wind, with user's guide for STRS2PC
This report describes a single-tower rotationally sampled wind model, STRS-2, that approximates a set of time series of turbulent wind experienced by individual points rotating in circles in a crosswind plane using measurements from anemometers arrayed vertically along a single line. The purposes of the model are (1) to use turbulence measurements made economically from conventional single-tower arrays of anemometers, (2) to incorporate measures characteristics of the wind at specific sites under consideration for operation of wind turbines, spanning the height range if interest, and (3) to estimate the unmeasured turbulence characteristics in the crosswind plane that spans the disk of the rotor blades. 17 refs., 15 figs., 5 tabs.
