From measurements to long-term estimates: which prospecting methods work best today?
Resource assessment
When: Wednesday, 26 September 2018, 11:00 - 12:15
Where: Room: Bilbao
Session description
How can we best estimate the long-term wind resource involving on-site measurements, and what are the requirements on these measurements? The session is about these two basic questions and finds answers both for onshore and offshore projects.
Learning objectives
- comprehend how (too) short measurement datasets may influence the wind resource estimate and which corrections may help
- Get an idea of the representativeness and variability of long-term reference datasets
- Be informed how a new roadmap pushes the commercial acceptance of floating lidar technology to provide bankable on-site data for offshore projects
