Operational Long-term Forecasts

Once operating, a wind farm’s long-term energy production forecast is best assessed making use of recorded operational data.

Garrad Hassan has developed state of the art methods for providing reliable long-term forecasts using high resolution SCADA data and long-term wind speed measurements.

Uncertainty levels are greatly reduced from pre-construction estimates leading to a higher debt:equity ratio in refinancing and a greater confidence of future production levels.
