Wind Resource Analysis (WRA)
GARUDA has a dedicated Wind Resource Analysis (WRA) Department with experienced
Engineers from the wind industry. All our engineers have hands on experience on
the WAsP, windPRO, Windographer & Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software analysis.
GARUDA has pro-actively installed Met mast at different hub heights in all the wind
rich states in India to calculate the energy prognoses. As WRA plays an important
role and influences the financial decision of the investors and banks, GARUDA is
therefore fully equipped with the advanced software tools and engineers who are
specialized in data collection, analytical and interpretation skills to optimise
the turbine layout.
Primary assessment is carried out using basic tools like WAsP. As the complexity
of the site increases, CFD simulations are carried out to make use of the available
data to finalize the optimised locations for wind turbines and to make proper energy
yield prediction, after considering all the uncertainties for that particular site. Risk
assessment is also carried out which includes the quantification of the project specific
uncertainties and the whole range of exceedance probabilities of the wind farm’s
annual energy production in its life time.
