Wind Potential Assessments – Crni Vrh Project, Serbia

Client: Decotra Srl, Italy

Name of partner(s): N/A

Start/Completion Date: September 2010 – December 2011

Project description: Wind Potential Assessments at Crni Vrh in the municipalty of Žagubica, Serbia. SEEC provided following services:

• Site identification and land requirements, aim was to find area with at least four qualities:

1.active wind conditions,

2.reasonable access to electrical transmission,

3.terrain favourable to construction ,

4.land use and environmental compatibility.

• Mast installation and data acquisition;
• Final report on wind potential;
• Measurement campaign:In municipality of Zagubica, part of Serbia, Decotra Srl had one measurement mast. The mast is 50 m high and has three measurement levels for wind speed and two for wind direction measurements. Air temperature, pressure and relative humidity were measured from one level at 5 m above ground.
• Data collection and handling: it included raw data storage, preparation of data base and data protection;
• Data validation, processing and reporting: we provided very sophisticate analysis whit numerical models which are state-of-the-art in wind projects (GH WindFarmer and WAsP). Analysis included information about average wind speeds, MCP results, wind distributions, turbulence, optimal layouts, production estimations (net and gross), cost-benefits, etc.
• Preparation of Feasibility study and Permitting Management.
