Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of determining an induction factor between the rotor plane (PR) and a measurement plane (PM), involving measuring the wind speed in at least two measurement planes (PM), determining the wind speed in rotor plane (PR) by use of a Kalman filter from the measurements, and measuring the induction factor by use of an adaptive Kalman filter from the measurements and the wind speed in rotor plane (PR).
