There are many wind and site analysis providers in the market today, so why pick Meventus?  While we feel the answer to that is quite simple, Quality, it is best explained by describing the unique advantages of how we became who we are today, and how that will benefit you.

Our analysis team started as the wind and site department of a large Norwegian energy utility with a sizable portfolio of wind projects under development. Together, our focus was simple – provide the most value out of our wind projects as possible.

The challenges were formidable. Our projects all had the following characteristics:  large project size, extremely complex terrain, and measurement masts rarely higher than 50m. Extrapolating wind measurements over large distances was a necessity; vertically as turbine hub heights continued to increase, and horizontally because of the large park sizes.  The combination of these factors put an extremely high reliance on quality flow modelling.  As traditional linear models have known limitations in complex terrain, we committed early to using CFD modelling – well before CFD became widely accepted in the industry, and well before most, if not all of our competitors.

As a measurement provider, one of the great advantages we have is access to years of measurement data from various locations and climate types. This data allows us to assess our flow models, enabling continuous improvement based on the latest industry trends and experience.

We supplemented our mast measurements with remote sensing, executing research projects (Lidar in Complex Terrain, Lidar in Complex Flow) to better understand the interaction between measurements and modelling and contributed valuable input to IEA Task 32 (Wind Lidar Systems for Wind Energy Deployment).
