Abstract
Calculating a wind speed associated with a return period at a proposed wind turbine site. The method comprises selecting a first set of storms from wind speed measurements measured at the proposed site, and selecting a second set of storms from modelled wind speeds, the modelled wind speeds being estimates of wind speeds at the proposed wind turbine site during the measurement period from a mesoscale data set. A comparison is made of characteristic wind speeds of the first and second sets of storms to determine a correction factor. A third set of storms is selected from an extended set of modelled wind speeds from an extended mesoscale data set, and the correction factor is applied to characteristic wind speeds of the third set of storms to provide corrected wind speeds. A wind speed associated with the return period is calculated from the corrected characteristic wind speeds.
