This paper shows the importance of quality assurance when using the NTF derived from one site to apply to another site. An example is given where the slope of the NTF from one site varied by 16% from the slope at another site. By removing the outlier, standard deviation of slope is reduced to 1.25%. If the outlier is not removed, standard deviation of the slopes can be reduced to 6% by using an ensemble approach using data from all six turbines at three sites. Careful quality assurance of the NTF will both reduce uncertainty and give an indication of the magnitude of the resulting uncertainty. Future work will analyze NTF from additional projects and cross compare AEP using NTF from turbines at other sites.
