Lead a Wind Energy Assessment role within the Power Generation Team, overseeing meteorological modelling, project design, and energy modelling for utility-scale wind energy projects across North America.
Supports the North American sales team by evaluating wind resources, recommending turbine models, determining annual energy production, and preparing site assessment reports for prospective wind energy projects.
Responsibilities
Serve as the subject matter expert on meteorological conditions and turbine suitability for prospective wind projects.
Perform wind resource assessments using software such as WindPRO, WAsP, and other industry-standard modeling tools.
Process and analyze meteorological data from met towers, SoDARs, and LiDARs, including data cleaning, long-term MCP analysis, and turbulence assessments.
Develop wind flow models and perform annual energy production (AEP) analyses, including losses, uncertainties, and site-specific environmental conditions.
Evaluate extreme wind conditions, turbulence intensity, fatigue loads, flow inclination, temperature, and air density impacts on turbine performance.
