Abstract To predict the average power output of a wind turbine, a response model is proposed which takes into account: (i) the delayed response to the longitudinal wind speed fluctuations; (ii) a response function of the turbine with arbitrary frequency dependence; (iii) wind fields of arbitrary turbulence intensity. In the limit of low turbulence intensity, the dynamical ansatz as proposed in 1992 by Rosen and Sheinman is reproduced. It is shown, how the response function of the turbine can be obtained from simulation experiments of a specific wind turbine. For two idealized situations the dynamic effect of fluctuating wind is estimated at turbulence intensities 0pIu p0:5: At the special mean wind speed V ¼ 8 m=s; the turbine response function is determined from simulation data published by Sheinman and Rosen in 1992 and 1994. r 2003 Elsevier Ltd.

1. Introduction The prediction of the average power output of a wind turbine, which is accurate enough for an economic assessment, is still a challenging problem. We will focus in this article on the question of how longitudinal wind speed fluctuations affect the power output through a delayed, frequency-dependent response by the wind turbine. The phenomenological model to be proposed includes an arbitrary, time-dependent response function, which, normally, has to be determined from specific aerodynamic *Corresponding author.

and electric–mechanical modelling of the wind turbine. Our model allows for considering arbitrary turbulence intensities. We have not included a possible feedback interaction to the turbine by the power grid, or interferences of turbines within a wind farm, which were considered in a recent paper by Hansen et al. [1]. In another recent study of dynamical effects by Pedersen et al. [2], the electric– mechanical response of a wind farm within an islanding experiment was emphasized rather than the effect of wind speed fluctuations. Our model generalizes a dynamic ansatz proposed by Rosen and Sheinman [3,4] for the case of weak turbulence intensity. Let us briefly sketch their ansatz. They start from the stationary power curve Ls ðuÞ; where u is the axis parallel component of the wind velocity. The instantaneous speed uðtÞ is decomposed as Z 1 T uðtÞ ¼ V þ vðtÞ with V  uðtÞ ¼ dtuðtÞ; ð1Þ T 0 where T is a short-term averaging time, e.g. 10 min: The turbulent part, vðtÞ; is a stochastic variable described, according to Shinozuka and Jan [5], as follows: vðtÞ ¼

where the frequencies fi ¼ iDf ; i ¼ 1; 2; y; are equidistant, yi is a random phase equally distributed over the interval from 0 to 2p; and for iak the phases yi and yk are statistically independent. We will denote in this article the phase average of a function H as Z 2p 1 dy1 y dyN H: ð3Þ /HS ¼ ð2pÞN 0 Clearly, the mean value /vS ¼ 0; and /v2 S ¼

The function Sðf Þ is the spectral density of the turbulent part v of the longitudinal velocity component, and depends, in general, on the short-term mean speed V and on the hub height of the turbine. The corresponding turbulence intensity, Iu ; is defined through ffi 1 pffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi /v2 S; Iu ¼ ð5Þ V where the index u refers to the longitudinal component u of the wind velocity. In two applications in Section 8, we will adopt for Sðf Þ a distribution function from boundary layer meteorology. In a next step, Rosen and Sheinman [3,4] consider the case of weak turbulence by the following Taylor series up to second order in v: Ls ðuÞ ¼ Ls ðV Þ þ l1 ðV Þv þ l2 ðV Þv2 :

The function G1 was derived in [3] from simulations by means of a specific rotorgearbox-generator model. The final power prediction was then established by the ensemble average with respect to the mean velocities V : The above dynamic modification corresponds to a coupling between the turbine, through G1 ; and the wind field, through S: As a matter of fact, our generalization was partly guided by the condition to obtain the form (7) in the limit of weak turbulence. The model, to be defined in Section 2, is a linear differential equation for the instantaneous power output LðtÞ of the turbine, and is characterized by a time-dependent relaxation function rðtÞ: The solution of this equation depends on turbine response and wind field in a nonlinear way. Nevertheless, it turns out that phase averaging with respect to the stochastic wind field (2) can rigorously be reduced to a one-dimensional integral containing a Gaussian distribution function. From the general solution, we will derive the weak turbulence limit and thus achieve a connection of the turbine function gðtÞ of our model to the spectral function G1 ðf Þ defined in (7) according to Sheinman and Rosen [3]. As a nontrivial result, we show that gðtÞ can be uniquely determined from the Rosen–Sheinman function G1 : To this end, we invoke causality for gðtÞ; i.e. gðtÞ ¼ 0 for to0 and exploit a Kramers–Kronig relation between the real and imaginary parts of gðtÞ in frequency space. The necessary proofs and, in particular, the solution of a singular integral equation will be outlined in an appendix together with a simple example for demonstration. In two rather idealized applications, we model the timely shutdown behaviour of a wind turbine and calculate the average power output for the special stationary power curve (6) in dependence of the turbulence intensity 0pIu p0:5: To this end, the turbine response function is estimated from graphical data published in [3,4]. Thereby, we restrict ourselves to the data for the mean wind speed V ¼ 8 m=s: In general, the turbine function gðtÞ should be determined by simulation runs of a specific turbine model. A simple way, within our model, consists in simulating the response to velocity jumps. We will discuss this briefly by an example in Section 3. In frequency space, gðtÞ can be obtained, in principle, by simulating the response to periodic wind gusts of given frequency and deterministic phase. As is shown in Appendix D, one has to choose both time and phase in a proper way, in order to avoid involved relations. The partly involved algebraic manipulations of this study and the numerical evaluations were performed with the aid of Mathematica [6].

2. Response model We denote by LðtÞ the instantaneous power output of the wind turbine at time t: It is assumed to be uniquely related to the instantaneous longitudinal wind speed: t-uðtÞ measured, e.g. at the nacelle, or at a certain distance upwind from the turbine as recommended in [7]. The function Ls ðuðtÞÞ corresponds to the stationary power to which the turbine would relax, if the particular speed uðtÞ was frozen in. The power curve u-Ls ðuÞ is taken to be known. The following relaxation model is adopted: dLðtÞ ¼ rðtÞ½Ls ðuðtÞÞ  LðtÞ: ð8Þ dt Apart from mathematical simplicity, the form of this model was motivated by two requirements: (1) it should reproduce the dynamical power response (7) in the limit of weak turbulence, as postulated in [3]; (2) it should be more general in order to include arbitrary turbulence intensities. The relaxation function rðtÞ; in general should depend both on the wind speed uðtÞ ¼ V þ vðtÞ and the time derivative u’ ¼ v’: We assume the form rðtÞ ¼ r1 ðuðtÞÞ þ r2 ð’vÞ:

ð9Þ

The part r1 describes then, e.g. relaxation, at constant wind speed, towards the stationary power Ls ðuÞ from a nonstationary value Lð0ÞaLs ðuÞ: For simplicity we will assume r1 as a constant, i.e. depending on the mean wind speed V only with r1 ðuÞ ¼ r1 ðV Þ ¼ r0 : The function r2 ð’vÞ is chosen within the scheme of linear response theory as follows: Z t r2 ðtÞ ¼ dt0 v’ðt0 Þgðt  t0 Þ; ð10Þ N

where g describes the response of the turbine. The response function g; in general, depends, on V and Iu ; as control parameters. Within a particular time interval tA½0; T these parameters are available, in principle, from the preceding short-time period. The function r2 ¼ r2 ð’vÞ is chosen to model the instantaneous interaction of the turbine with the turbulent wind. The turbine response has to be causal, i.e. gðt  t0 Þ ¼ 0 if t0 > t: As a consequence, in frequency space we have the product of the Fourier transforms of v’ðt0 Þ and gðt  t0 Þ: N X pffiffiffiffiffiffi pffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi 2pfi ri Df cos ð2pfi t þ yi þ gðfi ÞÞ; ri ¼ Gðfi Þ 2Sðfi Þ; ð11Þ r2 ðtÞ ¼ i¼0

To this end we assume that the stationary

power curve depends on the turbulence intensity as follows: ( Ls ðu; 0Þ if Iu pI  ; Ls ðuÞ-Ls ðu; Iu Þ ¼ 0 if Iu > I  :

3. Some simple examples To get some insight into the model, we consider three simple cases: (i) constant speed u0 with v’  0 and an initial power Lð0ÞaLs ðu0 Þ; (ii) a constant speed jump from u1 to u2 at time t ¼ 0; i.e. v’ ¼ ðu2  u1 ÞdðtÞ; (iii) an idealized shutdown at time t ¼ 0 and instantaneous power output Lð0Þ in the turbulent wind field (2). In example (i) both r ¼ r0 and Ls ðu0 Þ are constant and the solution of (8) exponentially approaches Ls ðu0 Þ as LðtÞ ¼ Ls ðu0 Þ þ ðLð0Þ  Ls ðu0 ÞÞ exp ½r0 t:

ð14Þ

The relaxation time 1=r0 is, e.g., of the order of a few seconds in the case of response measurements of blade root bending moments to sudden changes of the blade pitch angle on the Tjaereborg Turbine [8]. In case (ii) we have rðtÞ ¼ r0 þ ðu2  u1 ÞgðtÞ; Lð0Þ ¼ Ls ðu1 Þ; Ls ðtÞ ¼ Ls ðu2 Þ ¼ const: for t > 0: With the definition Z t # ¼ RðtÞ dt0 rðt0 Þ ¼ r0 t þ RðtÞ;

If RðtÞ as defined in (16) is bounded in time, which we assume, then the power LðtÞ exponentially converges towards the stationary power Ls ðu2 Þ once more. In case (iii) we implement the stochastic wind field (2) and redefine the function RðtÞ as follows: Z t N pffiffiffiffiffiffi X Df ri sin ð2pfi t þ yi þ gðfi ÞÞ: dt0 rðt0 Þ ¼ r0 t þ RðtÞ  Rð0Þ; RðtÞ ¼ 0

In our shutdown model the stationary power Ls  0 for t > 0: The solution of (8) therefore reads as follows: LðtÞ ¼ exp ½r0 t  RðtÞ þ Rð0Þ Lð0Þ:

ð19Þ

The average with respect to the phases yi can rigorously be carried out. As is shown in Appendix A, the result of phase averaging leads to /LðtÞS ¼ exp ½r0 t þ w2 ðtÞ Lð0Þ;

where w2 ðtÞ ¼

As is seen, the stochastic wind field gives rise to an effectively larger relaxation time, i.e. shutdown is slowed down to some extent. Nevertheless, the shutdown state of the turbine eventually is reached by an exponential law, since w2 ðtÞ is bounded in time.

4. General integration and phase averaging In terms of RðtÞ as defined in (18), the solution of the linear differential equation (8) can be written as follows: Z t LðtÞ ¼ exp ½r0 t  RðtÞ þ Rð0Þ Lð0Þ þ dt0 exp ½r0 ðt  t0 ÞPðt; t0 Þ; ð22Þ 0

Pðt; t0 Þ ¼ rðt0 Þ exp ½RðtÞ þ Rðt0 Þ Ls ðV þ vðt0 ÞÞ:

ð23Þ

The phase averaging of the initial value term was carried out in example (iii), see (20) and (21), with the result that this term exponentially decays to zero. Therefore, we will omit this term henceforth, and consider Z t LðtÞ ¼ dt0 exp ½r0 ðt  t0 ÞPðt; t0 Þ: ð24Þ 0

As is shown in Appendix B, we obtain the following phase average (we set t ¼ t  t0 )): sffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi 1 /PðtÞS ¼ exp ½C2 ðtÞ 4pC3    Z N  C13 1 2

the magnitude C1 appears in an intermediate step of Appendix B. Since the phase averaged function Pðt; t0 Þ depends on the time difference only, from (24) we obtain Z t /LðtÞS ¼ dt exp ½r0 t /PðtÞS: ð28Þ 0

It should be noticed that the half-width of the Gaussian exponent in the integrand of (25), 1=ð4C3 Þ ¼ V 2 =ð2Iu2 Þ; depends on mean values of the wind speed distribution only. Furthermore, C2 ðtÞ ¼ w2 ðtÞ which occurred in the shutdown example, see (21). Moreover, it is seen that the ensemble average of the power output depends in a nonlinear way on the spectrum both of the wind gusts and the turbine response function in general.

5. The limit of weak turbulence In this section we validate the model, to some extent, by deriving from (25) and (28) the ansatz (7) of Rosen and Sheinman. Thereby we will relate the adhoc function G1 ðf ; V Þ; proposed in [3], to the Fourier transform of the turbine function gðtÞ: The strength of the turbulent wind field will be marked by multiplying v with the nondimensional parameter a; which eventually will be set back to the value 1. pffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi Equivalently, Sðf Þ is multiplied by a in expression (25). In the limit a-0; the C coefficients defined in (26), are proportional to a2 : In view of the exponential term of the z-integrand of (25), z is effectively of order a and is scaled by this factor. Referring to (6), we can write for part of the integrand in (25) hðzÞ :¼ exp ½a2 C2  ðr0  2a2 C12 þ azC13 =C3 ÞLs ðV  2a2 C23 þ azÞ ¼ r0 Ls ðV Þ þ azðC13 Ls ðV Þ þ C3 r0 l1 Þ=C3 þ a2 fLs ðV Þð2C12 þ C2 r0 Þ  2C23 r0 l1 þ z2 ðr0 l2 þ C13 =C3 l1 Þg þ Oða3 Þ:

The time integration, according to (28), amounts to integrals of the type Z t m cos ðnÞ þ r0 sin ðnÞ dt exp ½r0 t sin ðmt þ nÞ ¼ m2 þ r20 0 m cos ðmt þ nÞ þ r0 sin ðmt þ nÞ  exp½r0 t : m2 þ r20 ð31Þ In view of the time averaging of LðtÞ we will neglect the exponentially decaying terms, which will cause errors of the order 1=ðr0 TÞ; where T is the averaging time. Restoring the ri ; Zi ; zi from (11) and (27) and restoring a ¼ 1; we arrive at the following weak turbulence limit (up to terms proportional to 1=ðr0 TÞ): /LðtÞS ¼ Ls ðV Þ þ l2

The symbol DLdyn denotes the average excess power as compared to the quasistationary average /Ls ðV þ vðtÞÞS ¼ Ls ðV Þ þ l2 /vðtÞ2 S þ Oðv3 Þ; it can be positive or negative in principle. When expressions (32) and (33) are compared with (7), we obtain the function G1 of Rosen and Sheinman [3] (up to normalization by Ls ðV Þ) in the form G* 1 ðf ; V Þ  l2 G1 ðf ; V Þ ¼ l2 þ DLdyn : ð34Þ A slightly more compact form can be obtained by introducing the angle Yðf Þ defined by tan ðYÞ ¼ 2pf =r0 : ð2pf Þ2 G* 1 ðf ; V Þ ¼ l2 þ l1 Gðf Þ qffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi cos ðgðf Þ þ Yðf ÞÞ: r0 4p2 f 2 þ r20

ð35Þ

The coefficients l1;2 depend on the mean wind speed V : Since l2 ðV Þ may have zeros, we prefer to replace G1 by G* 1 ; and write the phase and time averaged power output in the limit of weak turbulence intensity as follows: /LðtÞS ¼ Ls ðV Þ þ

As is seen from (35), one has optimal phase adaption of the turbine for gðf Þ ¼ Yðf Þ which gives rise to a positive excess power DLdyn in the weak turbulence limit.

6. Kramers–Kronig analysis For later applications we will derive a specific turbine function gðtÞ from the spectrum G1 ðf Þ; which is graphically represented in Fig. 2 of Ref. [3]. For this purpose, we will give the connection between a general response spectrum G1 ðf Þ and the underlying turbine function gðtÞ in the following. For convenience, we will replace f by the angular frequency o ¼ 2pf : In frequency space we denote the real and imaginary parts of the turbine function by GR and GI ; respectively: Z N 1 GR ðoÞ þ IGI ðoÞ  GðoÞ ðcosðoÞ þ I sinðoÞÞ ¼ dtgðtÞ exp ½Iot: ð37Þ 2p N Furthermore, in view of (33) and (34), we introduce the function F1 ; which is related to G1 ; as follows: G1 ðoÞ ¼ 1 þ

l1 o2 F1 ðoÞ: l2 o2 þ r20

ð38Þ

From (33) and (34) we obtain the following connection of F1 to the turbine function: o ð39Þ GR ðoÞ  GI ðoÞ ¼ F1 ðoÞ: r0 Because the turbine function gðtÞ is causal with gðtÞ ¼ 0 for to0; the imaginary part GI is related to GR by the Kramers–Kronig relation [9] Z N 1 GR ðxÞ ; ð40Þ GI ðoÞ ¼ þ P dx p xo N where P denotes the principal value; there is a ‘‘þ’’—sign in (40) since, as compared to [9], our definition (37) of the Fourier transform differs through o-  o: We thus arrive at the following integral equation for the real part GR of the turbine function: Z N o1 GR ðxÞ P ¼ F1 ðoÞ: GR ðoÞ  dx ð41Þ r0 p xo N The above integral equation is solved in Appendix C.1. using time space. The corresponding magnitudes in time space are denoted by lower case letters: GR ðoÞ-gR ðtÞ; F1 ðoÞ-f1 ðtÞ: Because the turbine function gðtÞ is real, we have the symmetries: GR ðoÞ ¼ GR ðoÞ;

GI ðoÞ ¼ GI ðoÞ;

gR ðtÞ ¼ gR ðtÞ;

f1 ðtÞ ¼ f1 ðtÞ; ð42Þ

ARTICLE IN PRESS 168

where the last relation is a consequence of (41). Since gðtÞ is not analytic at t ¼ 0; the solution of (41) has to be written separately for t > 0 and to0: Z t gR ðtÞ ¼ exp ½r0 tgR ð0Þ þ r0 dt0 exp ½r0 ðt  t0 Þf1 ðt0 Þ for t > 0; 0 Z t dt0 exp ½þr0 ðt  t0 Þf1 ðt0 Þ for to0: ð43Þ gR ðtÞ ¼ exp ½þr0 tgR ð0Þ  r0 0

It is easily seen, that the above solution obeys the symmetry stated in (42). The turbine function g; we are looking for, is now simply obtained from the following relation, which is generally proved in Appendix C.2.: ( 2gR ðtÞ if t > 0; gðtÞ ¼ ð44Þ 0 if to0: The still open constant gR ð0Þ in solution (43) remains to be discussed. Clearly, if the turbine function is continuous at t ¼ 0; then gðt ¼ 0Þ ¼ 0; and because of (44) the constant gR ð0Þ ¼ 0: On the other hand, a jump of gðtÞ at t ¼ 0 is reflected in the behaviour of the Fourier transform for o-N: As is shown in Appendix C.3, the constant is uniquely determined by F1 as follows: gR ð0Þ ¼ pr0 lim F1 ðoÞ: o-N

ð45Þ

7. Deriving a turbine function In the following we attempt to infer a concrete turbine function gðtÞ from graphical data of Fig. 2 in [3]; we restrict ourself to the case of mean wind speed V ¼ 8 m=s: To derive the function F1 ðoÞ from G1 by means of (38), we have to estimate the parameters l1;2 ðV Þ; for which, once more, we have only graphical data available as presented in [3,4]. The two l parameters, essentially, are the first and second derivatives of the stationary power curve Ls ðV Þ: As should be remarked, a measured power curve is based on 10-min time averages, in general, and differs more or less from the ideal power curve inferred from spatiotemporally constant winds. In our group we have a new method of stochastic analysis to extract the deterministic law of a physical magnitude in a noisy environment [10]. A first application to extract the ideal power curve from given data has been published in [11]. To obtain Ls ðV Þ underlying the Refs. [3,4], we multiply the power coefficient Cp0 ; shown in Fig. 2, of [4], by K V 3 ; to obtain the stationary power Ls ðV Þ ¼ K Cp0 V 3 ; where K is a constant. Within the plot range of Cp0 of [4], namely 6:75pV p12 ms1 ; the power curve can be fitted by a straight line: Ls E constant þð87 m2 =s2 Þ KV ; In this way we infer l1 Eð87 m2 =s2 Þ K: The parameter l2 ; which according to (6) is proportional to the second derivative of Ls ðV Þ; is inferred from the nondimensional function dðV Þ introduced in [3] and plotted there in Fig. 1.

As is seen from Fig. 1, we set approximately G1 ðf Þ ¼ 1 in the interval 0pf p0:05075: There is, of course, no data basis to extrapolate G1 ðf Þ to large frequencies f : We will set G1 ¼ 1 for large f ; which implies the asymptotic value F1 ¼ 0: According to Fig. 1, the frequency support of G1 and thus of F1 is in the domain f p1 so that time space resolution is not below, say 1 s: It is therefore compatible with the data to assume the turbine function gðt ¼ 0Þ ¼ 0; and as a consequence of (45) F1 ðoÞ ¼ 0 for o-N: We will therefore approximate F1 ðoÞ further by setting F1 ðoÞ ¼ 0 for oXo2 ; where F1 ðo2 Þ ¼ 0: 8 for 0popo1 and o > o2 ; > <0 P10 i ð48Þ F1 ðoÞ ¼ for o1 popo2 ; o1 ¼ 0:3188; o2 ¼ 3:970; i¼0 ai o > : F1 ðoÞ for oo0: With the aid of (43) and (44), and setting gR ð0Þ ¼ 0; we now calculate the turbine functions gðtÞ as follows: Z t gðtÞ ¼ 2r0 dt0 exp ½r0 ðt  t0 Þ f1 ðt0 Þ 0 Z t Z N 0 0 dt exp ½r0 ðt  t Þ do F1 ðoÞ exp ½Iot0 ; tX0: ð49Þ ¼ 2r0 N

Applications In this section, we will present first numerical results for two rather idealized cases: (1) The shutdown model of Section 3, which offers an exponential dependence on the turbulence intensity Iu : (2) An application of the general theory of Section 4, to the special stationary power curve Ls ðuÞ as given in (6). From meteorological boundary layer theory, we adopt the following spectral density of the wind speed fluctuations [12]: SðoÞ do ¼ ðVIu Þ2

where z denotes the hub height of the wind turbine. As compared to [10], definition (2) requires an additional factor V 2 : For notational economy, we have denoted Sðf Þ  Sðo=ð2pÞÞ-SðoÞ by the same symbol. We choose the values z ¼ 15 m and V ¼ 8 m=s: To work out the explicit dependence on Iu ; we introduce the spectral density at Iu ¼ 1 : S1 ðoÞ :¼ SðoÞIu ¼1 : Among the C-functions defined in (26), the following two are independent on time t: 1 C3 ¼  Iu2 V 2 ¼ 32Iu2 ; 2 Z 1 2 N C13 ¼ Iu do S1 ðoÞoGI ðoÞ ¼ 0:246403Iu2 ; 2 0

where the latter result is obtained by numerical Simpson integration from discrete data fields for S1 and the imaginary part, GI ; of the turbine function in frequency space. Also the remaining functions of (26), C2 ðtÞ; C12 ðtÞ; C23 ðtÞ have the form C ðt; Iu Þ ¼ Iu2 C ðt; Iu ¼ 1Þ: The three fields are numerically worked out at Iu ¼ 1 in time steps of Dt ¼ 0:05 s and are available as stored data fields. To evaluate these functions, we need the real and imaginary parts, GR ðoÞ and GI ðoÞ; of the Fourier transform of the turbine function gðtÞ: The two functions were obtained in frequency steps of Do ¼ 0:01 by numerical integration from gðtÞ as given in (50). Relation (39) served as an efficient test of the numerics. Once more, GR and GI are available as stored data fields. For illustration see Fig. 3. To indicate the relevant frequency domain (support), we plot in Fig. 4 the product Sðf ÞG2 ðf Þ; which occurs in the integrand of the function C2 ðtÞ: We now numerically evaluate the shutdown model of Section 3. The time decay to Ls ¼ 0 is given in (20) with w2 ðtÞ  Iu2 C2 ðt; Iu ¼ 1Þ: For Iu ¼ 0 and after time Te ¼ 1=r0 the initial power output Lð0Þ is decayed by exp½1: This decay is slown down

According to (24) the time-averaged power output has to be calculated from Z t Z T 1 /LðtÞSV ¼ dt dt exp½r0 t/PðtÞSV ; ð61Þ T 0 0 where we indicated by the subscript V that our phase average refers to a given mean wind speed V : We have in mind an averaging time of T ¼ 10 min and assume the relaxation time 1=r0 ¼ 5 s: Within the relatively short time T; the mean speeds V are approximately realized by a Weibull distribution, W ðV Þ;Rin general. This means, the long-term mean power has to be estimated from dV W ðV Þ /LðtÞSV : This application is restricted to the calculation of /LðtÞSV at V ¼ 8 m=s: Henceforth, we will omit the subscript V : Due to the exponential factor in the t integral above, this integral levels off to a constant value for times t > t ; where t is of the order of a couple of relaxation times 1=r0 : We assume Tbt and approximate the average power output as follows: Z t /LðtÞSE dt exp½r0 t/PðtÞS; t > t : ð62Þ 0

In the numerical integrations we take t ¼ 35 s corresponding to 700 discrete time steps. In order to single out the dynamical effect, we have to identify the quasi-stationary contribution /Ls ðV þ vÞS ¼ Ls ðV Þ þ l2 /v2 S ¼ Ls  1=2C3 l2 ;

ð63Þ

which corresponds to the contributions P0 and the last term of P2 ; as given in (57) and (58), respectively. As a check, the t integral from P2 leads to the weak turbulence limit (32) and (33) for Tb1=r0 : For convenience, we normalize the power output by the stationary power Ls ðV Þ: This amounts to setting Ls ¼ 1 in (57)–(60) and to replace l1;2 by l* 1;2 :¼ l1;2 =Ls ðV Þ: Numerical time integration up to t ¼ 35 s leads to the following result for the dynamical effect: /LðtÞS ¼ 1 þ l* 2 V 2 Iu2 þ DLdyn ; DLdyn ¼ 3:73l* 1 Iu2 þ ð1:10l* 1 þ 10:24l* 2 ÞIu4 þ ð0:199l* 1 þ 4:43l* 2 ÞIu6 þ Oð1=ðr0 TÞÞ: ð64Þ Whereas relative numerical errors are of the order 103 ; the main approximation consists in neglecting terms of the order 1=ðr0 TÞ: From Section 7, we infer l* 1 ¼ 0:40 s=m and l* 2 ¼ 0:035 s2 =m2 : In Fig. 6 we plot the relative dynamical effect in percent: DLdyn :¼ 100 DLdyn =/LðtÞS:

ð65Þ

A comparison of our results with those reported, e.g. in Fig. 4 of Ref. [4] appears very difficult by several reasons, in particular in view of our idealized example and the fact that our model and the parameters used are not sufficiently validated. We remark that at given mean speed V ; the quasi-stationary power should increase quadratically with higher turbulence intensity Iu which seems to be not the case in Figs. 4(d) and (e) of [4].

9. Conclusions The turbine model we have introduced, gives rise to relatively compact analytic expressions for the average power output in stochastic wind fields. It may be an efficient tool to assess the effect of wind speed fluctuations on the average power output of a wind turbine. The model is particularly suitable to examine the dynamic effect of turbulent wind fields which can be described by standard models of boundary layer meteorology. On the other hand, through the time-dependent relaxation function rðtÞ ¼ r1 ðtÞ þ r2 ðtÞ there is ample freedom to implement specific response behaviour, possibly including feedback interaction with the power grid which, however, is not considered in this article. To examine the response to turbulent wind fields, we emphasized the coupling between turbine and change rates of wind speed described through r2 : The other part of the relaxation function, r1 ; was set constant for simplicity. In a simplified shutdown model, wind fluctuations tend to weaken the relaxation towards standstill. Moreover, in the case of a special stationary power curve, we find a dynamic enhancement of the average power output with increasing turbulence intensity. As a partial validation of our model, we see the limit of weak turbulence intensity, which reproduces the dynamic ansatz by Rosen and Sheinman [3]. Verification of our model beyond the weak turbulence limit constitutes an ambitious future task.

Since /  B2i S cannot be positive, the exponent in (B.6) is a negative definite quadratic form in the variables k1 to k3 ; In principle, there could exist submanifolds where the form is zero, but these should be unlikely (of zero probability) in view of the dependence on t and on ri ; Zi ; zi ; gðfi Þ i ¼ 1; 2; y; N: We thus assume that the integrals in (B.2) exist. Rather than diagonalizing the quadratic form (B.6), it turns out to be more convenient to carry out in turn the integrations in the original variables, beginning with k1 and proceeding with k2 to k3 and then with x; y and z in (B.2). All integrals are Gaussian giving rise to more or less involved algebraic expressions which have been manipulated by Mathematica [6] without any complication. The result is stated in (25) and (26).

From (22), (23), and (50) we obtain up to quadratic order in a; Z t LðtÞ ¼ dt0 exp½r0 ðt  t0 Þ  RðtÞ þ Rðt0 Þ 0

The t -integration in (D.5) is elementary. In the result we choose t ¼ 2pN=o; where N is a sufficiently large integer such that terms proportional to exp½r0 t can be neglected. This means, we run the simulations up to this special time. The result, which now depends on the phases g and y only, can be written with LðyÞ :¼ Lðt ¼ 2pN=o; yÞ: LðyÞ ¼ Ls ðV Þ þ aL1 ðyÞ þ a2 L2 ðyÞ þ Oða3 Þ;
