Example of work as a Wind Analyst

In a proposed wind energy project site, a wind analyst was needed to assess the feasibility of constructing a wind farm.

The task involved collecting historical meteorological data from the area, which included wind speed and direction.

The wind analyst used specialized software to analyze this data, creating a comprehensive wind resource assessment.

Through careful analysis, they identified the site's wind potential, optimal turbine locations, and estimated energy production.

The findings were crucial in determining the project's economic viability and expected energy output, allowing project stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding investment, financing, and development of the wind energy project.
