Evaluation of Wind Measurements
Almost every wind study is based upon
on-site wind measurements. AL-PRO attends the deployment of
your met tower, LIDAR System, or combination of both and
ensures that the instrumentation and data loggers collect data
according to existing technical guidelines. If the data
collection meets existing standards, then the final analysis
will meet all your investor and banking requirements. Nothing
could be worse than losing several months of data due to an
incorrect measurement!
We evaluate your measurement data according to actual
standards and prepare them for the use in our model systems. A
decisive point in the processing is the long term correlation.
While on-site measurement data usually is collected for a
comparatively short period of time, the knowledge of the long
term wind regime is critical to completing a wind and yield
study. Usually this is achieved by projecting the data over
the desired long term period using an adjacent long term data
source and using MCP (Measure Correlate Predict) methods.
AL-PRO developed a procedure that clearly outperforms common
linear MCP approaches and typically leads to a far higher
precision of the long term projection. This method works on
basis of neural computer networks that are able to recognize
complex and non-linear relations between the datasets. In
addition, up to 4 long term data sources can be used for the
projection simultaneously.
