More Sustainable Financing of Wind Power Projects through Improved Annual Energy Production Estimates
This article is about increasing confidence levels in annual energy production calculations for proposed wind farms. To do this, Sinclair Knight Merz uses detailed statistical analysis of the measured site data and the measured meteorological station data, without assuming a certain correlation function between the two datasets before the analysis has taken place.
