• Measurement coherence, which can be calculated given a frequency domain wind field<br />

model, can be used to find the optimal lidar measurement configuration that minimizes<br />

the mean square value of a turbine variable of interest.<br />

• For a hub-mounted lidar, there is an optimal preview distance that minimizes measurement<br />

error. For shorter preview distances, geometry effects cause error to increase. Beyond<br />

the optimal preview distance, wind evolution becomes more severe, thus increasing<br />

measurement error.<br />

• A combined feedback/feedforward control system can be optimized given the measurement<br />

coherence. For perfect measurement coherence, the control system relies entirely<br />

on the feedforward controller. For measurements that are completely uncorrelated with<br />

the wind disturbance, the control system relies entirely on feedback. For imperfect measurements<br />

that have some correlation with the wind disturbance, the optimal control<br />

strategy utilizes both feedback and feedforward control.<br />
