Validation

Long-term time series data are required for wind energy, and hybrid renewables modeling applications, including:

The VMT product is continually being validated against actual measurements. It supports energy yield analysis used in bankable reports, globally.

It has been created using the highest quality numerical weather prediction software (WRF), the highest quality input data set (ERA5).

In our validation studies thus far, we have found that the AVMT product improves correlation of local project meteorological measurements to reanalysis data sets by 0.03 to 0.15. The correlation to say, MERRA-2 reanalysis data might be 0.77, and to the AVMT 0.86. More certain analysis result from using the AVMT product in this case – your projects analysis is more certain and therefore more attractive from a financing perspective, with improved P-Values.

The AVMT product is one of many factors contributing to the bankability of a given project analysis.

If VMT provides a higher correlation to your on-site measured data, then your project will be more certain, and therefore more reliably invested in by financial institutions.
