AWS Truepower is pleased to provide recordings of two recent webinars hosted by our Information and Wind Developer Services teams. Below are brief descriptions on each webinar along with links to the recorded event, slides, and referenced materials.
SMART Resource Assessment: Time Matters
Until recently, resource assessment for wind energy projects has heavily relied on the standard approach employing meteorological towers to establish historical climate conditions. This webinar concentrates on how highly accurate modeled wind resource data can speed up preconstruction activities while significantly reducing development costs.
Members of the AWS Truepower Information Services team discuss how virtual met masts (VMMs) and reports based on high-resolution data save time and money when it comes to understanding the resource and energy potential of your project site. They also share experiences from seasoned developers who have used AWS Truepower’s data to qualify project sites.
SMART Resource Assessment: Location Matters
Making good decisions early on about your wind resource and energy assessment campaign will ensure dependable results later. This webinar concentrates on identifying promising sites using GIS tools, siting met towers, and the value of map-based assessments.
Members of the AWS Truepower Wind Developer and Information Services teams demonstrate the value of using windNavigator Wind Resource Grids and openWind Enterprise for met tower siting, preliminary plant design and energy production estimates.
