The economic benefit of wind measurements is often not clear. Industry best practice can help, but often the developer is left to decide how many measurements to make, and short term cash flow concerns can lead to minimal measurement campaigns that do not optimize project economics. In this example, we explore the economic value of deploying one or two buoys for a small offshore wind farm, and whether to use one or two lidar units per buoy.
