"EMD has validated 3TIER Reference Wind Time Series using selected project locations in different regions of the world where quality, long-term tall tower data are available.
"Our preliminary findings show that 3TIER wind data can significantly reduce long-term correction error compared to using NCAR/NCEP data, which is often the only option due to a lack of reliable long-term ground measurements.
"Reducing error also reduces the uncertainty of AEP calculations, improving the value of your wind farm project when sold, or providing you with better financing opportunities."

"EAPC Wind Energy finds 3TIER's Reference Wind Time Series extremely valuable when it comes to long-term reference data for performing MCPs. Issues due to sensor changes, monitoring station moves, and reporting methods adjusted over time, can all be avoided by accessing 3TIER's model time series data.
"3TIER's high-resolution data and modeling techniques have proven to EAPC to be more useful and accurate compared to previous global and regional datasets. The best part about model time series data is getting data at hub height, which helps eliminate atmospheric stability issues when performing MCPs, thus improving the final product to our clients."
