Horizontal Extrapolation in Time Series: Precision Wind Resource Assessment for Every Turbine
Understanding wind behavior at the turbine level is critical to achieving a reliable wind resource assessment, a key driver for reducing uncertainty in both onshore wind farm and offshore wind farm development.
Youwind introduces horizontal extrapolation during time series analysis, empowering users to adjust and individualize long-term wind speeds at each turbine. This significantly improves bankable yield assessment by ensuring turbine-specific precision across your entire wind farm layout.
Why this matters: A common industry challenge
Traditional time series analysis in wind energy often assumes uniform wind conditions across all turbines, using a single reference point. While efficient, this simplification overlooks real-world spatial variability, particularly in complex terrains or large-scale offshore arrays, impacting the accuracy of LCOE calculation, wake modeling, and performance estimates.
This is especially relevant for developers and consultants engaged in financial modeling wind energy projects, where small deviations in wind input can lead to significant differences in revenue projections or investment risk.
Enhanced Solution: Youwind's scalar-based extrapolation method
With this update, Youwind’s platform enables scalar adjustment at the turbine level. This feature is now available directly in the Wind Resource menu on the left sidebar under time series analysis.
Integrated, expert-backed, and scalable
This horizontal extrapolation capability is fully integrated within Youwind’s seamless wind farm development tool, maintaining our commitment to clarity, adaptability, and real-world usability.
Whether you’re a large-scale offshore developer or a consultant for wind projects, this feature supports more:
- Reliable bankable yield assessments
- Transparent data-driven decisions in wind energy
- Flexible use cases in diverse geographic and regulatory contexts
And as always, the platform is backed by wind experts, ensuring that every feature we release is tested, validated, and designed with your project realities in mind.
