  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. This paper summarizes and illustrates the steps involved when siting and planning the design and performance of wind power plants. The topics covered are: site screening techniques and parameters; wind resource mapping as a siting tool; the role and design of wind measurement campaigns; optimizing wind plant turbine layout using advanced modeling tools; predicting a site´s long-term wind resource and annual wind plant production; and due diligence reporting to obtain project financing.
