Wind Assessment

Metosim-Truewind plans any wind assessment plan to best adapt it to the individual characteristics of each project. Our expert team of meteorologists analyses wind measurements based on both a wide experience in wind measurement and a deep knowledge of the atmospheric boundary layer phenomena.Our broad experience covers all phases of the wind resource assessment process in the most various and complex environments. Our services start with the first contact with the site and include:

• Selecting the best location to locate the met masts.
• Coordination of the met masts installation.
• Expert advise on instruments.

Meteosim-Truewind also operates and maintains the met masts:

• Downloading the wind measurements.
• Coordination of the operation and maintenance of the met masts.
• Supervision of the quality of the recorded wind data.
• Production of periodical summaries and reports.

To the final production of long-term wind predictions and site class assessments:

• Selection of reference met stations.
• Application of MCP techniques (Measure - Correlate - Predict).
• Production of long-term wind predictions.
• Wind climate (turbulence, wind shear, maximum gust, density).
• Assessment of the site class for turbine type selection.

Meteosim-Truewind main aim is to guarantee always the most accurate assessment of the wind resource to our costumers. We offer full measurement campaigns or only those parts the costumer is mostly interested.

Advanced Services

Meteosim-Truewind skills extends also to advanced micrometeorological services such as the application of SODAR to study the 3-D boundary layer, turbulence and wake effects, or the use of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) models to assess the effects from towers and other structures in wind measurements.
