Wind Measurements and
Wind Resource Assesments

If you want to know the facts...

A key success factor for development of wind energy projects is the wind resource. You want to know the wind energy potential for a large area? Or you need an accurate assessment of the wind climate and expected production for a specific site?

Ecofys has the experience and expertise to support your project with high level wind surveys as well as detailed wind measurement campaigns. We use high quality  equipment and have developed specific Wind Resource Quality Assurance programme. All to your benefit.

Wind Survey
Fast identification of development sites for wind energy projects. Based on analysis of available data from various sources a report is produced of wind resources in a larger area.

Wind Resource Assessment
Actual on site measurements for a longer period deliver the highest degree of accuracy in wind resource predictions. This brings key data for project planning and financial planning and delivers valuable input for wind park design.


The assessment project covers:

•             Site Survey(s)

•             Wind Measurements

•             Data analysis and modelling

•             Correlation to long term climate data

•             Uncertainty analysis

•             Electricity Production (AEP P50, P90).

•             Intermediate reports & End report

For complex terrain Ecofys can use SODAR / LIDAR technology and CFD models to determine the best park design.

Quality and Reliability
Ecofys executes wind resource assessments based on international standards (such as IEC 61400 and MEASNET).  For analysis Ecofys uses world wide renowned software packages like WaSP® and WindPro®. High availability and quality of data is guaranteed through our WRM Quality Assurance Programme©.
