Abstract :
The energy capture of wind turbines depends not only on the specific wind conditions found at the site where the turbine is installed, but it depends also on the control strategy used for the turbine. As differences in the site conditions make the influence of the control strategy difficult to measure, very different results have been reported. In this paper the results of a simulation-based approach are presented, which are valid for a broad range of sites. It is shown how a lot of the different results found in the literature can be explained by different site conditions
