Resource Analysis

Resource Analysis is a critically important and challenging component of all renewable energy projects, and is crucial to establishing robust project economics.

Overview

Developers, banks, institutional investors and turbine manufacturers across the sector rely on PMSS to assess the viability of their projects to support their investment decisions.

Whether at site identification, through a formal financial close or late in the lifetime of an operational project, our clients require a detailed understanding of the variations in renewable resource upon which the performance of the plant and equipment depend.

At PMSS our expert team of meteorologists and analysts have an outstanding track-record in this field, and combine state-of-the-art assessment techniques with industry leading tools and a deep understanding of each technology and their respective optimisation potential.

Complementing our resource assessment capability is windFIT - a cutting edge analytical tool developed by PMSS that provides comprehensive analysis of wind site characteristics and machine loads, in order to provide enhanced turbine site suitability modelling.
