On the strength of wind measurements more than one hundred billion dollars is invested each year in the construction of wind farms. With the proliferation of remote sensing technologies, measurement campaigns have grown exponentially more complex to plan and deliver. Success depends on balancing a broad set of trade offs, from clearly defined technical requirements to in-field practical considerations.
Gust for the Record is a practical guide to the design of pre-construction measurement campaigns for onshore wind farms. Its purpose is to give confidence to those responsible for making campaign decisions. Rather than dwelling on jargon or technical minutiae, the book focuses on discussing the underlying principles of measuring a prospective site, explaining how a well-designed campaign can turn uncertainty into a bankable wind farm project.
