Alternative Calibration of Cup Anemometers: A Way to Reduce the Uncertainty of Wind Power Density Estimation

This study presents a procedure to reduce the uncertainty of wind power density estimations, which is useful to improve the energy production predictions of wind farms. Power density is usually determined from the wind speed measured by a cup anemometer and the air density value (conventional proced...
