Financial performance of a wind project is tremendously sensitive to wind resource. Therefore, accurate wind data analysis and prediction of annual energy production of a wind farm, performed by a credible, experienced organization, is a crucial element for modeling financial return of the project over its lifetime.

Azure can undertake wind resource assessments according to international standards and issue bankable energy yield reports. Such a study typically comprises the following steps:

• Acquiring wind, topographical, layout and turbine data:
• Site visit:
• Short term wind data selection and processing
• Long term wind data selection and processing
• Long term correlation
• Wind turbine layout design
• Wind flow calculation to obtain raw annual energy production
• Losses estimation
• Uncertainty estimation
• Annual energy production at P50, P75, P90 and other confidence levels
