Wind Resource Assessment
Wind resource assessment has become a specific science discipline. The European windatlas model WAsP has been the standard approach for site assessment studies for a long time. Complex terrain and hub heights well above 100 m require even more sophisticated methodologies. Advanced atmospheric mesoscale models and computational fluid dynamic codes (CFD) as well as global reanalysis data are standard options for resource assessment studies. In addition the estimation of yield reductions due to wind turbine operation restrictions receives increasing attention.
Among others, the following topics will be discussed:
- The meteorological basics of wind conditions
- Wind measurement with mast and remote sensing techniques: Planning and development of strategies, evaluation and appreciation
- Long-term assessment of wind measurement: What long-term data can be used? What techniques allow a reliable and robust estimation?
After the workshop you will be able to find the optimal strategy for a wind resource assessment at any particular site.
