Analysis of local obstacle impacts on the energy performance of large scale wind autoproducers in peri-urban locations, based on multi-annual SCADA data
To achieve best energy and economic performance from any wind project careful attention should be given to siting and sizing a wind turbine at the given site.

Project Description
This project will investigate the impact of local obstacles on the energy performance of 3 existing large scale wind auto-producers at separate semi-urban locations, based on the analysis of multi-annual 10-minute SCADA data sets. The project aims to inform appropriate building set back distances for energy maximisation, which will benefit planning guidelines regarding setback distance justification. The outputs will be of use to IEA Wind activities such as Task 27 and 28
