Abstract

Research of wind energy potential with the aim of installing wind turbines was performed on location Hrgud in the southeastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. These are complex terrains characterized by specific wind Bora. Measurements were performed by standard procedures using the classical standard instruments, anemometers and wind vanes, mounted at different heights on the measurement mast height of 77.5 m (agl) combined with remote sensing technique such as the LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) during period 23.8. 2013. – 19.12. 2013. The aim of this study was to perform an analysis and comparison of collected measurement data from the measurement mast and the LIDAR (Windcube v2 FCR), as well as the behavior of the equipment itself in the complex terrain and wind Bora conditions in Bosnia. During the comparison the 10-min averaging time for the wind speed and direction is used. It can be concluded from this analysis that the behavior of the LIDAR under harsh local weather conditions was relatively well, except the problems with the power supply. The LIDAR uncorrected wind speed was in general lower than the wind speed measured by the cup anemometer at the same height. The comparison of the data of measurement methods provides reliable information on the wind speed within the considered altitude range. Keywords: wind energy, LIDAR, wind Bora, Bosnia
