3.14 Wind Resource Assessment
The wind speed at the proposed turbine location has been taken from the RenewableUK database and
forms the basis of the energy yield assessment carried out during the review process.
The turbine will be a 225kW turbine. The wind speed database for the turbine location has a yearly
average wind speed of 8.5m/s at a height of 45m. However extrapolating the likely average wind velocity
at a hub height of 32.4m, the expected wind speed on average is expected to be approximately 8.06m/s.
As this speed is within the manufacture’s guideline range for operational wind speed, it is predicted to
operate effectively for the majority of its lifetime.
