Wind energy generation systems - Part 50-2: Wind measurement - Application of ground-mounted remote sensing technology (IEC 61400-50-2:2022)

Part 50 of IEC 61400 specifies methods and requirements for the application of instruments to measure wind speed (and related parameters, e.g. wind direction and turbulence intensity). Such measurements are required as an input to some of the evaluation and testing procedures for wind energy and wind turbine technology (e.g. resource evaluation and turbine testing) described by other standards in the IEC 61400 series. Part 50-2 is applicable specifically to the use of ground mounted remote sensing wind measurement instruments, i.e devices which measure the wind at some location generally above and distant from the location at which the instrument is mounted (e.g. sodars, vertical profiling lidars). This document specifically excludes other types of RSD such as forward facing or scanning lidars.

Systèmes de génération d'énergie éolienne - Partie 50-2: Mesurage du vent - Application de la technologie de télédétection montée au sol (IEC 61400-50-2:2022)

IEC 61400-50-2:2022 s'applique spécifiquement à l'utilisation d'instruments de mesure du vent par télédétection montés au sol, c'est-à-dire des dispositifs qui mesurent le vent à un endroit généralement situé au-dessus et éloigné de l'endroit dans lequel l'instrument est monté (par exemple, sodars, lidars à profil vertical). Le présent document exclut spécifiquement d'autres types de RSD tels que les lidars dirigés vers l'avant ou les lidars à balayage. Le présent document spécifie les points suivants:
a. la procédure et les exigences de classification des RSD au sol afin d'évaluer l'incertitude liée à la sensibilité de la réponse du RSD aux conditions météorologiques qui peuvent varier entre le lieu et le moment de l'étalonnage du RSD et le lieu et le moment du cas d'utilisation (SMC – specific measurement campaign, campagne de mesure spécifique).
b. les procédures et les exigences relatives à l'étalonnage des RSD.
c. l'évaluation de l'incertitude de mesure de la vitesse du vent.
d. les contrôles supplémentaires des performances du RSD et de l'incertitude de mesure pendant la SMC.
e. l'application de l'incertitude de la vitesse du vent dérivée de l'étalonnage et de la classification du RSD aux mesurages effectués pendant la SMC (par exemple, interpolation de l'incertitude ou des résultats de l'étalonnage à différentes hauteurs).
f. exigences relatives aux rapports.
La présente première édition de l’IEC 61400-50-2 fait partie d’une révision structurelle qui annule et remplace les normes de performance IEC 61400-12-1:2017 et IEC 61400-12-2:2013. Cette révision structurelle ne contient aucune modification technique par rapport à l'IEC 61400-12-1:2017 et l'IEC 61400-12‑2:2013. Toutefois, les parties relatives aux mesurages du vent, au mesurage de l'étalonnage du site et à l'évaluation des obstacles et du terrain ont été extraites vers des normes distinctes.

WIND ENERGY GENERATION SYSTEMS –

Part 50-2: Wind measurement – Application of
ground-mounted remote sensing technology

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 61400-50-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 88: Wind energy generation
systems. It is an International Standard.
This first edition of IEC 61400-50-2 is part of a structural revision that cancels and replaces the
performance standards IEC 61400-12-1:2017 and IEC 61400-12-2:2013. The structural revision
contains no technical changes with respect to IEC 61400-12-1:2017 and IEC 61400-12-2:2013,
but the parts that relate to wind measurements, measurement of site calibration and assessment
of obstacle and terrain have been extracted into separate standards.
The purpose of the re-structure was to allow the future management and revision of the power
performance standards to be carried out more efficiently in terms of time and cost and to provide
a more logical division of the wind measurement requirements into a series of separate
standards which could be referred to by other use case standards in the IEC 61400 series and
subsequently maintained and developed by appropriate experts.

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 61400 specifies procedures and methods which ensure that wind
measurements using ground-mounted remote sensing devices are carried out and reported
consistently and in accordance with best practice. This document does not define the purpose
or use case of the wind measurements. However, as this document forms part of the IEC 61400
series of standards, it is anticipated that the wind measurements will be used in relation to some
form of wind energy testing or resource assessment.
The main clauses of this document are not mutually dependent. Therefore, it is possible that a
user will refer to only certain of the main clauses rather than all clauses to adapt this document
to their specific use case. However, the main clauses are presented in a logical sequence that
could be applied in practice.

The technical content of this document could previously be found in IEC 61400-12-1:2017 [1] .
Because of the increasing complexity of this source document, IEC TC 88 decided that a re-
structuring of the IEC 61400-12 series of standards into a number of more specific parts would
allow more efficient management and maintenance going forward. This document has been
created as part of that re-structuring process.

Part 50-2: Wind measurement – Application of
ground-mounted remote sensing technology



1 Scope
IEC 61400-50 specifies methods and requirements for the application of instruments to
measure wind speed (and related parameters, e.g. wind direction and turbulence intensity).
Such measurements are required as an input to some of the evaluation and testing procedures
for wind energy and wind turbine technology (e.g. resource evaluation and turbine testing)
described by other standards in the IEC 61400 series. This document is applicable specifically
to the use of ground-mounted remote sensing wind measurement instruments, i.e. devices
which measure the wind at some location generally above and distant from the location at which
the instrument is mounted (e.g. sodars, vertical profiling lidars). This document specifically
excludes other types of RSD such as forward facing or scanning lidars. This document specifies
the following:
a) the procedure and requirements for classifying ground-based RSDs in order to assess the
uncertainty pertaining from sensitivity of the RSD response to meteorological conditions that
can vary between the RSD calibration place and time and the use case (specific
measurement campaign – SMC) place and time;
b) the procedures and requirements for calibration of RSDs;
c) the assessment of wind speed measurement uncertainty;
d) additional checks of the RSD performance and measurement uncertainty during the SMC;
e) application of the wind speed uncertainty derived from the RSD calibration and classification
to the measurements taken during the SMC (e.g. interpolation of uncertainty or calibration
results to different heights);
f) requirements for reporting.
