Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for acquisition and modelling of an incident wind field by a LiDAR sensor. Acquisition and modelling include a step of estimating the wind amplitudes and directions for a set of discretized points, and a step of incident wind field reconstruction in three dimensions and in real time. The invention also relates to a method of controlling and/or monitoring a wind turbine equipped with such a LiDAR sensor from the incident wind field reconstructed in three dimensions and in real time.
