Wind Data Validation & Analysis · Clean, preprocess and validate raw wind data collected from masts, sensors and weather stations. · Perform data quality checks, filtering, gap filling and identification of anomalies and sensor faults. · Conduct short-term-to-long-term correlation of wind data. · Analyse wind speed, wind direction, wind rose, Weibull distribution, turbulence intensity and vertical wind shear. · Apply statistical and analytical methods to identify wind patterns, trends and variations. Wind Resource Assessment & Modelling · Conduct Wind Resource Assessment for greenfield and applicable existing or repowering projects. · Develop and review wind-resource maps using appropriate wind-flow modelling tools. · Assess terrain, elevation, roughness, orography and spatial variation of wind resources. · Evaluate turbulence and wake effects relevant to project assessment. · Prepare WRA assessments and technical inputs based on analysed wind-resource characteristics . Turbine Selection & Micrositing · Evaluate WTG models, capacities, rotor diameters and hub heights based on site conditions and project requirements. · Optimize turbine layouts considering wind resource, wake effects, turbulence, land constraints and applicable setbacks. · Incorporate internal roads and electrical infrastructure requirements into layout optimization. · Coordinate with OEMs on turbine suitability, site conditions and applicable technical requirements. · Evaluate alternative turbine configurations and layouts to support project energy optimization . Energy Yield Assessment · Assessed energy generation based on wind-resource characteristics and turbine performance. · Prepare and support P50, P75, P90 and other exceedance-level energy estimates, as applicable. · Calculate gross and net energy generation. · Assess applicable losses including wake, availability, electrical, environmental, curtailment, grid, high-wind shutdown and degradation losses. · Provide energy-yield inputs for project feasibility, investment proposals and financial models. Uncertainty & Technical Risk Assessment · Identify key uncertainties associated with wind measurements and energy-yield assessments. · Support preparation of uncertainty budgets covering measurement, long-term correction, spatial and vertical extrapolation, flow modelling, wake modelling, power-curve and operational uncertainties. · Identify technical risks, assumptions and limitations affecting WRA and energy-yield assessments. · Provide technical inputs for risk assessment and mitigation during project development. Project Development & Existing Project Support · Support technical screening and preliminary assessment of new wind project sites. · Provide WRA inputs for site feasibility studies, DPRs and project-development assessments. · Provide technical inputs for evaluation of turbine technologies and OEM proposals. · Support wind-resource assessment for wind-solar hybrid projects. · Analyse historical wind and generation data for existing projects. · Evaluate existing WTG performance and support assessment of turbine replacement, capacity enhancement and repowering opportunities. Technical Due Diligence & Reporting · Prepare WRA, wind-data analysis and energy-yield reports and maintain relevant technical documentation. · Ensure accuracy, completeness and timely submission of technical deliverables. · Support technical due-diligence activities with investors, lenders, Independent Engineers and technical consultants. · Review third-party WRA and technical reports and provide technical inputs on observations, assumptions and identified risks. · Coordinate responses to technical queries and observations raised during technical due diligence. Cross-Functional & Stakeholder Management · Coordinate with Engineering, Project Development, Land, Electrical, Finance, Commercial and other relevant internal functions. · Coordinate with OEMs, consultants, mast vendors and other technical agencies for WRA-related activities. · Provide technical inputs required for project planning, investment assessment and project-level decision-making. Purchase Requisition & Process Support · Raise Purchase Requisitions based on departmental requirements in accordance with applicable processes. · Coordinate with relevant approvers and Procurement for timely processing of PRs. · Track PR status and provide required information for completion of the procurement process .
