Industry Applications

Led by industry partner DNV GL, we will investigate how standard industry models can be improved by our scientific efforts to increase certainty in wind resource characterization and lower the cost of offshore wind projects to the public.  This work will:

• quantify the improvements in wind resource assessment afforded by the coupled modeling and parameterization developments
• quantify the improvements in short-term probabilistic forecasts of power production and systems maintenance time
• incorporate any suggested parameterization, wake cluster, and/or upwind blockage improvements into industry desktop models to improve model performance.
