Session description The risk in the performance of a wind energy project is impacted by a large number of parameters, not least of which is the wind resource. A correct estimate of the wind resource can make or break the economics of a wind energy project. Therefore, this resource must be accurately detailed both for the short and long term, and fine & coarse spatial resolutions. A higher level of confidence in the wind resource assessment facilitates the financing and the subsequent operation of the wind energy project. In this session, innovative measurements and computer modelling techniques that are used to detail and exploit the offshore wind resource, over different spatial and temporal scales, will be presented. |
