Wind energy continues to be a cornerstone of our renewable future, but optimizing its potential requires an accurate assessment of complex atmospheric phenomena. One such phenomenon, wind veer, is increasingly recognized as an important factor impacting wind farm performance and, if not properly understood, can lead to significant underperformance and operational challenges. Natural Power’s recent research, presented at the American Clean Power Research & Technology Conference recently, sheds light on how to gain insight into wind veer at sites where there is limited information from on-site measurements by instead using mesoscale reanalysis datasets which we have validated against on-site remote sensing devices (RSDs).
