| Generated error by 1% measurement error | Impact on AEP | |
|---|---|---|
| Anemometer | Δ1% wind speed measurement error (Up to Δ6% energy, if anemometers are used to calculate the wind profile.) | Δ3% energy |
| Wind vane | No direct linear relation, but will lead to poor wind farm design. | |
| Air pressure sensor | Δ1% air pressure measurement error | Δ1% energy |
| Temperature sensor | 1° measurement error | 0.35% energy |
| Air humidity sensor | (at 40°C) 1% measurement error | 0.05% energy |
