This book is a practical guide to developing a wind project for utility scale wind projects, developed by a group of experts at a leading renewable energy consulting company. An accurate assessment of the wind resources is essential for the successful implementation of wind energy. Mistakes in this phase of the project may lead to financial loss or missed opportunities. This volume presents techniques to ensure a thorough resource assessment and reduce uncertainties in long term energy output while maximizing the value of investment made. We start with effective procedures for high quality wind monitoring equipment selection, installation and maintenance. Then, we discuss the various methods for assessing data quality and reliability, as well as extrapolating measurement data from anemometry to turbine optimisation, modifying short term observations for past climate trends, and conducting wind flow modelling. Furthermore, the book addresses specific topics, such as worker safety, data security, emerging remote sensing technology, offshore resource delivery, climate change impact and uncertainty estimations, among others. This comprehensive resource, covering all aspects of wind resource study, from the basic knowledge of wind technology to advanced research discoveries and questions for discussion, is designed for an inclusive audience. It aims to encourage consistent assessment standards across the entire industry.

A practical, authoritative guide to the assessment of wind resources for utility-scale wind projects—authored by a team of experts from a leading renewable energy consultancy The successful development of wind energy projects depends on an accurate assessment of where, how often, and how strongly the wind blows. A mistake in this stage of evaluation can cause severe financial losses and missed opportunities for developers, lenders, and investors. Wind Resource Assessment: A Practical Guide to Developing a Wind Project shows readers how to achieve a high standard of resource assessment, reduce the uncertainty associated with long-term energy performance, and maximize the value of their project assets. Beginning with the siting, installation, and operation of a high-quality wind monitoring program, this book continues with methods of data quality control and validation, extrapolating measurements from anemometer height to turbine height, adjusting short-term observations for historical climate conditions, and wind flow modeling to account for terrain and surface conditions. In addition, Wind Resource Assessment addresses special topics such as: Worker safety Data security Remote sensing technology (sodar and lidar) Offshore resource assessment Impacts of climate change Uncertainty estimation Plant design and energy production estimatio Filled with important information ranging from basic fundamentals of wind to cutting-edge research topics, and accompanied by helpful references and discussion questions, this comprehensive text—designed for an international audience—is a vital reference that promotes consistent standards for wind assessment across the industry.
