Site Assessment: 
Which site is the best suited for your Wind Energy Conversion (WEC) type?
TÜV SÜD has worldwide experience and offers assistance in all types of wind speed and energy forecasting.
TÜV SÜD provides consultancy and assessment throughout all stages of wind farm development.
Analysis of wind potential – project creation
-
Reports for all scales (country, region, site) in appropriate resolutions
- Annual mean wind speed at various heights
- Energy yield prediction for various hub heights and/or WEC types
- Report with detailed information and high-quality maps
Awareness of the wind potential for all scales, from a potential study of regions to micrositing for a specific site, is a critical parameter for project success and the first step towards a healthy project.
Wind measurements – project acquisition
TÜV SÜD supervises and controls qualified wind measurements and keeps you updated at all times.
SODAR measurements – project validation
In addition to our wind measurement services, our SODAR capabilities help to reduce project uncertainty.
- SODAR lease agreements
- Deployment strategy
- Validation and correlation of SODAR data
Wind resource and energy production assessment – project qualification
-
Calculation of mean wind speeds and energy yields for a variety of configurations
-
Expert approved comparable data from a worldwide network of meteorological stations
-
Independent bankable expert report with a solid project rating
-
Expert notes and recommendations for further optimization issues
-
Optimization of wind farm layouts to maximize mean annual energy production
A quasi three-dimensional rendered model is used to forecast the mean annual wind energy production and wind speed for the planned project configuration.
Site suitability – project safety
- Determination of the wind class with respect to IEC 61400-1
- Statistical review and CFD analysis of wind shear and inflow angle
- Site specific load calculation for your turbine type
- Natural hazard risk assessment
TÜV SÜD offers detailed calculations on turbulence and extreme wind statistics, taking into account current standards and guidelines.
