2009-2012, Humber Gateway Offshore Wind Farm, Meteorological Mast, Energy Yield Assessment

Description

This energy yield report calculates the expected average annual energy production (AEP) for the proposed Humber Gateway offshore wind farm off the coast of North Lincolnshire. A seventy three turbine layout was used for this calculation. Power production assessments were performed for the Vestas V112 3MW Offshore turbine with an 80m hub height, certified class IB.
     Site measurements have been carried out by a single offshore meteorological mast installed on site to the west of the planned turbine positions. A 74m mast installed on a platform 15.7m Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL) has provided wind speed measurements at 90m, 88m, 70m, 52m and 34m AMSL for a 21 month period. A long term correction, based on the MCP method, was performed with the Donna Nook No. 2 meteorological station. The energy yield assessment has been carried out with and without a 1% downward adjustment of the measured wind speed. 

This series contains all wind data recorded by the meteorological mast as Humber Gateway Offshore Wind Farm.
