This long-term time series wind turbine operation dataset is from an 850 kW Vestas V52 wind turbine located in a peri-urban location in Ireland. The wind turbine has a hub height of 60 m and a rotor diameter of 52 m. The dataset ranges from 2006 to 2020 and contains the 10-minute raw data logged by the internal turbine controller system. It includes both external environmental measurements such as wind speed, wind direction and temperature, and wind turbine operating parameters such as rotor speed, blade pitch angle, generator speed and internal component operating temperatures. The data may be of interest for a variety of wind research areas including distributed wind energy, wind turbine ageing, technology improvements, design standards development and wind turbine energy performance in per-urban environments under various atmospheric conditions.
