Vaisala Wind Assessment Validation White Paper

This industry-leading validation study examines 30 wind farms and a total of 127 wind farm years to demonstrate that Vaisala’s energy estimates are calibrated with respect to actual production data, exhibiting near zero mean bias error. The paper also includes new research on uncertainty estimates and how to validate them.

Stability Vs. Innovation: How Validation Reduces Assessment Uncertainty

Developers and investors need energy estimates that provide confidence and accuracy. Yet these goals can be at odds with each other since one is achieved through familiarity with a stable approach and the other achieved through innovation. Published by North American Windpower, this article demonstrates ways to achieve both simultaneously through validation.
