Wind Data is your most valuable asset in the development phase and needs to be regularly checked and analysed. Not only does such an analysis ensure you detect any faults in your monitoring early, it also allows you to see any specific aerodynamic issues which may influence your wind farm design such as for example directional wind shear, directional differences in turbulences, high wind gusts or specific time of day patterns potentially allowing you to negotiate a better Power Purchase Price. There are a lot of data to be analysed requiring specialised software, a lot of experience and a detailed understanding of the locality.
