WINData's professional expertise and state of the art technology combine to make location selection more of an exact science. WINData's experts will be there with you from your first topographical explorations and walk-throughs to the installation of met towers and instrumentation of your site.

Our experts will also help demystify the complexities or hidden attributes of the site selection process so you can move confidently forward with your business plan. Working with local entities, future power off-takers, and development entities up front can streamline the development process and also build awareness about your site's potential from the outset.

Once site is selected, met towers have been installed and your data is flowing into WINData's servers, experts will help you decipher and analyze your site's potential with a site assessment.

Whether your site already has the data required for site assessment, or if you have a new site that's ready to be instrumented, WINData is there to help. Our experts will help you understand how the various characteristics of your site will influence power production and the impact to your bottom line.

Starting with a site visit, a WINData expert will review your site first hand with you. Often tiny clues about your site's seasonality and wind quality can be uncovered using a combination of a site visit, maps, and the site's data. This helps you understand your site's potential and also helps create the proper wind farm design.

Whether you are starting from a blank slate or if you are an established wind farm operator, WINData's met towers and high fidelity, real-time data loggers are the key to giving you deep, concrete insight into the wind patterns that influence your site's behavior.

Even the most seasoned expert can only estimate the potential of a site. Creating a quantitative assessment of your site's potential is an important step in the valuation and development potential of your site.

WINData installs tilt-up met towers to each customer's specification. Selecting the proper height is important and WINData will select the appropriate size and instrumentation for your site. Common heights include 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 meter towers. Taller, non tilt-up 100 meter towers are also available for either permanent or temporary installation.

WINData also installs met towers for permanent sites for use in forecasting purposes. Combining real met data from locations that are upstream from a wind farm allows operators to get a critical preview of the weather that is heading toward the farm. This allows them to participate more effectively in their respective markets and also reduce the impact of an unexpected ramp event on the production of power for their farm.

WINData's real-time data from these met towers works right alongside an operator's SCADA data and can be used in the most sophisticated forecasting models, thus insuring greater accuracy and advanced warning about pending weather patterns.

There's more to achieving a site's potential than just putting up turbines and hoping for the best. Using WINData's expertise and high fidelity data, wind farm design becomes an exact science that can be optimized for each site's characteristics. Proper site design helps your assets perform to their peak potential and gives you the best return on your investment possible.

Wind farm design starts with having the proper data available for analysis. WINData can work with your existing site data, or help you select a technology that will allow you to get the required data that will provide you the insight you need to develop your wind asset.

WINData's experts will be able to work with you to create the best possible power production and economic projection scenario for your site so that you can feel confident starting the development process.
