Micrositing and layout
Positioning each turbine against measured wind, terrain and wake interaction.
Because turbines steal wind from each other. A turbine standing in the wake of another produces less and suffers more fatigue. Micrositing positions each machine against the measured wind rose, the terrain and the spacing needed to limit wake loss.
What this includes
- Terrain and roughness modelling
- Wake loss modelling between machines
- Per turbine yield prediction
- Access road and crane pad planning
- Noise and shadow flicker assessment
- Setback and habitation distance compliance
- What you receiveOutput
- Turbine layout with predicted wake losses and per machine yield
- When you need itTiming
- After a full year of resource data, before turbine order.
Packing machines to fit the land. Wake losses rise faster than most layouts assume and the loss runs for twenty five years.
