The development of modern utility-scale wind farms often requires that the developer conduct a wind resource assessment campaign prior to construction. The information that is collected during this measurement program is utilized to estimate the potential energy production from a proposed wind farm project, thereby providing information to help determine the economic viability of installing a wind farm at a given location. These estimates of energy production are typically used by the developer to secure funding for the project. Consequently, one of the primary goals of the measurement campaign is to reduce the uncertainty associated with the energy estimates, which helps to reduce the risk perceived by the investor. This handbook provides guidelines for planning and conducting a wind resource measurement program to support the development of utility-scale wind farms. [Summary, excerpt]
