ABSTRACT = {To overcome the problems of natural decreases in power quality, and to eliminate wind speed fluctuation due to
wind shear and tower shadow effect arising from wind turbine structural parameters, an improved prediction model
accounting for the dual effect of wind shear and tower shadow is, in this paper, built. Compared to the conventional
prediction model, the proposed model contains a new constraint condition, which makes the disturbance term
caused by the tower shadow effect always negative so that the prediction result is closer to the actual situation.
Furthermore, wind turbine structural parameters such as hub height, rotor diameter, the diameter of the tower
top, and rotor overhang on wind shear and tower shadow effect are also explored in detail. The results show that
the wind shear effect became weaker with the increase in hub height. The hub height is independent of the tower
shadow effect. The rotor diameter is positively correlated with the wind shear and tower shadow effect. The tower
shadow effect is positively correlated with the diameter of the tower top and negatively correlated with the rotor
overhang.},
