A Regional Prospecting Study provides long-term wind speed and wind power characteristics at turbine hub height for extensive land or offshore areas.Often requested by large landowners, developers and utilities interested in wind farm development, these studies overcome the limitations of generally available maps, which are often based on limited data interpolated to cover large areas.
A WindLogics prospecting study is based on advanced modeling techniques combined with our extensive weather archives to provide the accurate wind maps needed to guide further study. Advantages of these wind maps over generally available tools include:
- Thorough data analysis—We use all available data—not just a sampling—to improve accuracy and confidence in decision making.
- Rapid turnaround—Studies can be completed quickly (usually within 6 to 8 weeks) to keep projects moving.
- Worldwide application—Local tower data is not required, so studies can be conducted at any location, including offshore, around the globe.
Consider a Viewpoint Regional Prospecting Study when you need accurate and timely wind intelligence to identify specific areas for detailed wind energy project investigation.
