India WRA

Bankable wind resource assessment for Indian projects.

Independent WRA for Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and repowering portfolios. Built around met mast QC, MCP, terrain-appropriate modelling, wake, IEC 61400, and P50/P75/P90 outputs.

India-specific WRA checks

Met mast and LiDAR QC

Data recovery, boom shadow, sensor drift, anemometer calibration, cyclone gaps, and GSM-buffer artefacts are documented before modelling.

MCP and reference selection

ERA5 and MERRA-2 are tested against onsite records, with NIWE, IMD, or operational SCADA used where reanalysis underperforms.

Wake and repowering

Neighbouring project wake, larger rotors, hub-height changes, grid constraints, and MNRE repowering policy implications are reviewed.
