## General wind turbine knowledge
- averaging periods of 10 min are commonly used; 30 min period for turbulence studies; the larger integral time scale, the larger should be averaging period; sampling frequencies should be much smaller than integral time scale
- you have to detrend te time series to get rid of high-frequency fluctuation
