Wind Resource Assessment
The successful development of wind energy projects depends on an accurate assessment of where, how often, and how strongly the wind blows. A mistaken in this stage of evaluation can cause severe financial losses and missed opportunities for developers, lenders, and investors.rnWind 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 maximaize 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.rnIn addition, Wind Resource Assessment addresses special topics such as:rn• Worker safetyrn• Data securityrn• Remote sensing technology (sodar and lidar)rn• Offshore resource assessmentrn• Impacts of climate changern• Uncertainty estimationrn• Plant design and energy production estimationrnFilled 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 fro wind assessment across the industry.
