Wind & Air Density
Preparation of wind speed, wind direction, air density, vertical profile and relevant extreme conditions.
Wind and Turbulence Assessment
Understand sites under real-world conditions
We translate site-specific wind conditions into a reliable basis for site suitability assessments, load calculations, continued operation and sound commercial decisions.
The objective
Understand sites under real-world conditions
Averages alone do not determine site conditions. Wind, turbulence, terrain, neighbouring turbines and operating strategy interact. Our project-specific analyses capture these influences and make their effects transparent.
Siteinstead of generic assumptions
Wakeincluding neighbouring-turbine effects
Operationwith yield and safety in view
Scope of services
Turning complexity into clarity.
We combine the modules to suit the project phase, from a focused individual assessment to an integrated analysis.
Turbulence Intensity
Site-specific assessment of turbulence and its significance for loads, suitability and continued operation.
Wake & Neighbouring-Turbine Effects
Modelling of wake effects from existing and planned turbines and their potential mutual influence.
Terrain & Roughness
Consideration of topography, roughness changes, obstacles and complex site conditions.
Site Suitability
Technical assessment as a robust basis for permitting and planning processes.
Continued Operation
Site data as input for load comparisons and the assessment of reserves in existing turbines.
Project process
A structured path from data to results.
Review Data
We review turbine, site and operating data and clarify open assumptions at an early stage.
Model the Site
Wind field, turbulence, terrain and wake influences are combined in a consistent model.
Assess Scenarios
We examine the current situation, planning variants and relevant operating or shutdown scenarios.
Turn Results into Action
Results are documented clearly and translated into specific courses of action.
What you receive
Results you can put to work.
- Transparent site and turbulence assessment
- Identification of relevant wake and neighbouring-turbine effects
- Input parameters for load calculations and continued operation
- Clearly stated assumptions, reserves and critical aspects
Input data
What we need to get started
- Coordinates, wind-farm layout and turbine types
- Hub heights, operating modes and planned modifications
- Available wind, yield or measurement data
- Information on neighbouring turbines and permitting status
Missing data is not an obstacle. We identify gaps early and agree appropriate substitute assumptions or additions with you.
Frequently asked questions
Brief answers.
When should the assessment begin?
As early as possible once the wind-farm layout and turbine types are sufficiently defined. This allows the findings to inform planning, permitting and operating strategy.
Can existing turbines be assessed?
Yes. A site-specific assessment of existing turbines is particularly important for continued operation, repowering and new neighbouring turbines.
How are the results used in load calculations?
The identified wind and turbulence conditions provide the site-specific boundary conditions for comparing design loads with site loads.
