OFFSHORE WIND RESOURCES
Offshore wind resources
We examine offshore wind resources using meteorological reanalysis and wind-field analysis.
When this service is useful
- When reviewing wind conditions at an offshore site
- When analysing ordinary and extreme wind conditions
- When examining spatial and temporal characteristics of long-term meteorological information
Approach and scope
- Offshore wind-field studies using meteorological reanalysis
- Analysis of ordinary wind resources and extreme wind speed and duration
- Numerical examination of conditions in the study area
Information to prepare
- Study area and period
- Wind observations and available reanalysis information
- Study objectives and required wind conditions
You can start a discussion with the information currently available, even if every item is not yet ready.
Potential deliverables
- A description of data coverage and analysis conditions
- Results examining wind characteristics in the study area
- Technical explanation of assumptions and limitations
Deliverable types and scope are agreed according to objectives, available information and project requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Does the study guarantee a wind project’s energy yield?
This page describes the published wind-resource and wind-field service area. It is not a guarantee of energy yield or project viability.
Are on-site measurements needed?
Available information is reviewed first, and suitable data and analysis scope are discussed according to the purpose.
