Extrapolation of Wind at 100 meters

Context

  • Need to know the wind resource at the altitude of the turbines (~100m)

Challenge

  • Propose reliable extrapolations of existing measures

Our solution

SAR observations are used to measure surface winds (10 metres) along the coast.

  • Estimation of the upper extrapolation profiles of the surface wind resource, statistically derived from atmospheric models
  • Implementation of these methodologies based on the estimation of the surface wind resource from the SAR
