Abstract

The wind measurement experiment was conducted by using three-dimensional ultrasonic anemometers in the building environment in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, and the collected wind data were processed into sub-data samples with sampling frequencies of 10 Hz, 5 Hz, 2 Hz and 1 Hz and sub-data samples with averaging periods of 10 min, 5 min and 1 min, respectively. The effects of sampling frequency and average period on wind speed, wind direction, turbulence intensity and turbulence power spectral density in the built environment were explored and analyzed. The results show that the wind field characteristics can be accurately captured by using a 1 Hz sampling frequency, without pursuing too high sampling frequency. Wind speeds which are much larger or smaller than the average wind speed can be retained by using1min averaging period, and the wind power density calculated is closer to the actual situation. While the averaging period has a slight influence on the wind direction frequency, but does not change the wind direction distribution characteristics and the main wind direction. Meanwhile, the averaging period has no effect on the turbulence intensity and turbulence power spectral density in the building environment. The turbulence intensity and turbulence power spectral spectrum density under a 1 min averaging period are relatively smaller. However, the turbulence intensity may be overestimated under a 10 min averaging period in the building environment, but it provides a relatively safe basis for wind turbine load analysis.

Key words
