Wind Monitoring and Data Checking

Wind data from a wind farm site is a high value asset. Acquiring high quality wind data at a site incurs not-insignificant costs and takes substantial time.

Increasingly, developers are outsourcing downloading, checking and archiving wind data to Garrad Hassan. For a modest quarterly fee Garrad Hassan can maintain a client's data allowing the developer to focus on their core business of realising the wind farm project.

GH designs meteorological monitoring programs for wind farms providing robust functional specifications for the equipment to be installed. GH is abreast of the latest advances in the use of remote sensing Sodar and Lidar techniques such as the equipment pictured here.
