Germany: EWEA to Launch Yield Assessment Procedure Challenge

EWEA has announced its first offshore Comparative Resource and Energy Yield Assessment Procedure (CREYAP) exercise.

Participants will receive wind data and information on turbine layout to assess the expected energy yield for a wind farm and submit their results for comparison. The results will be presented during EWEA Offshore 2013 (Frankfurt, Germany) as part of the session on Thursday 21 November 2013 entitled “Offshore Energy Yield Assessments: Challenges and Lessons Learned”.

The exercise builds on the two CREYAP exercises for onshore wind that have been conducted to date and results presented at EWEA technology workshops in May 2011 and June 2013.

The outline of the scope of work of the exercise, description of the inputs that will be provided in the data pack and the results that participants will be asked to produce is now available on:

https://www.ewea.org/offshore2013/conference/offshore-creyap/

The data pack will be available to download from the same page at the beginning of August 2013. The deadline for submitting results is Monday 30 September 2013.
