Wind analysis, sheltering & wind siting

Quantitative assessment of clear and disturbed wind sectors.

Service
  • Location and context analysis
  • From fieldwork to reporting
  • Practical outcomes
Why this service

Not only seeing that an obstacle interferes, but understanding when and by how much

Obstacles, distance-to-height ratios, terrain roughness and prevailing wind directions are assessed by azimuth. Where appropriate, an indicative sheltering or wind-reduction analysis is performed.

Assessment and analysis

  • ✓ Obstacle inventory by wind sector
  • ✓ D/H ratio and obstacle angle
  • ✓ Roughness and terrain class
  • ✓ Mast and platform interference
  • ✓ Prevailing wind and data coverage
  • ✓ Indicative wind reduction or sheltering factor

Deliverables

  • ✓ 360° sector map
  • ✓ Clear, attention and disturbed sectors
  • ✓ Wind direction and speed charts
  • ✓ Interpretation of representativeness
  • ✓ Advice on height, position or appropriate use
Practical outcome

A wind measurement that can be interpreted by sector

The result clarifies from which directions the measurement is representative, where local influence is likely and which measures offer the greatest benefit.

01

360°

Complete sector assessment.

02

D/H

Distance relative to obstacle height.

03

Roughness

Terrain influence on flow.

04

Advice

Positioning and data use.
