Wind Resource Assessment and Micrositing Advisory
01
What SgurrEnergy Reviews
Wind measurement campaign
Mast, LiDAR or SODAR data quality, location, duration and representativeness.
Long-term correlation
Reference data, MCP methodology, long-term adjustment and uncertainty.
Micrositing
Turbine layout, terrain, wake interactions, exclusion zones and constructability.
Energy yield
Gross and net yield, losses, P50/P75/P90 estimates and sensitivity scenarios.
Turbine suitability
IEC class, wind speed, turbulence, loading, rotor diameter and hub height.
Bankability
Alignment of yield assumptions with financial model and lender expectations.
02
Typical Client Situations
- A project is approaching investment or lender review and needs independent yield confidence.
- A wind measurement campaign requires validation before being used in financial models.
- A turbine layout needs review for wake losses, terrain constraints and constructability.
- An acquisition target requires independent resource and energy yield assessment.
- A repowering decision needs comparison of existing and future energy yield potential.
