The Viewpoint Discovery Study provides landowners and developers with immediate, expert advice early in the site evaluation process. This study provides an initial examination of local terrain, meteorology and wind characteristics, along with long-term wind analysis. We also offer recommendations for additional investigation, as appropriate, to keep your project moving.
Prepared by our experienced meteorologists, this study incorporates customer-provided information, publicly available terrain and weather data and local meteorology to provide a thorough, initial site evaluation. Advantages of this customized study, delivered within a matter of days, include:
- Effects of local topography and land use— Our scientists evaluate terrain, land use and vegetation to provide insight into potential effects on wind energy production.
- Annual and monthly wind characteristics—Using our unmatched Rapid Update Cycle data set, we examine wind direction and speed for a specific point (defined by latitude and longitude) or a general area of interest.
- Long-term wind analysis—Using data, as available, and our patented Computational Learning System, we provide long-term wind speed estimates for an essential view of wind variability and power production.
Consider the Viewpoint Discovery Study when you need cost-effective, fast turnaround wind advice on initial expectations, possible issues and suggested next steps.
