A Detailed Site Assessment provides comprehensive wind analysis across your entire wind project site. These studies are often requested once a wind project site is secured and the wind farm stakeholders are obtaining financing. Like the Point Study, it delivers long-term wind speed averages and wind energy production to overcome concerns about limited met tower data or questionable long-term reference data. In addition, it provides this three-dimensional analysis across the entire wind farm site, including detailed site visualizations.
This wind study reduces the expense and typical time required to place additional met towers, with these advantages:
- Comprehensive 3D wind analysis—We combine our unmatched weather archives with any on-site data and apply fine-scale modeling to analyze the entire wind farm site.
- Wind maps and layouts—High-precision GIS-based maps of wind speed and wind power production provide useful tools for stakeholder discussions and also direct additional investigation, as needed.
- Long-term wind data analysis—Our 40-year results support critical discussions about long-term wind variability during project financing.
Consider the Viewpoint Detailed Site Assessment when you need detailed wind resource analysis to move your wind project forward.
