Layout Design and Energy Yield Assessment for Wind Projects
VIE offers Layout Design and Energy Yield Assessment services using the best tools (WindSim, OpenWind and WindPro) and wind reanalysis data databases (ERA5 and MERRA2). The assessment takes into consideration many relevant data such as meteorological and geographical characteristics, wind profiles, air density, temperature, digital terrain model, roughness and other. The foundation of our energy yield assessments includes high-resolution CFD models, resource assessment campaign design, and rigorous measure-correlate-predict (MCP) analyses. Layout design optimization and accurate energy yield assessments considering losses and uncertainties (bankable) are the key to realistic expectations for project performance and have significant impact on project finance. The services offered by VIE are in accordance to international standards.
Shadow Flicker Assessment for Wind Projects
Together with the technology development, wind turbines grew in size both in their heights and rotor diameters. Such advance increased the impacts of a phenomenon called Shadow flicker, caused by rotating turbine blades cast moving shadows on surroundings which could, under certain conditions, cause flickering. VIE has the knowledge and tools to evaluate a Wind Project's Shadow flicker impact. The services offered by VIE are in accordance to international standards.
