AWS Truepower has announced the launch of several new features to the Site Assessment dashboard hosted on the windNavigator platform. Site Assessment is a wind resource and energy analysis application with validated data for small to utility-scale wind project developers.
The new features include:
The new features include:
- The ability to retrieve mean annual wind speed values and energy estimates at custom hub heights ranging from 10 to 100 meters in reports and deliverables.
- Two-hundred meter resolution wind speed values available through the Compass tool. The Compass tool provides subscribers with access to advanced analysis capabilities such as mean annual wind speed values, and weibulls. Previously this was available at 2km.
- The newest addition to the Long-Term Virtual Met Mast (LT-VMM) product is inclusion of the four surrounding model grid points. Clients who use the data for primarily for measure-correlate–predict (MCP) will benefit from this additional data because in select cases a combination of the four surrounding nodes correlates better with measurements than the interpolated VMM. The interpolated VMM is still recommended for exploratory energy analyses because it has been adjusted to reflect our long term map speeds at the user’s hub height of choice.
