HIGH FREQUENCY TALKSWhat Are The Pros And Cons Of Developing A Standardized Method To Interpret Results?Method standardization can help investors to make more informed decisions and reduce risks when determining whether a project is bankable or not. Hence, working towards meeting standardization criteria can become a powerful tool in resource assessment and development of wind farms. However, some believe that each project is different, each company has a different threshold for risk, each company has different investors (and not all investors are equal!) and finally each project has different reasons for using novel technology. Each delegate will be given the chance to express their thoughts, concerns, ideas and solutions anonymously and in written form (5 minutes). The moderator will then read out loud the audience’s suggestions on how to make the industry progress on these issues. The debate will then be opened up to the rest of the room making this the perfect occasion to overcome the barriers to establishing concrete and realistic measurement standardization practices. |

Delegates will select one of the following peer-to-peer discussions from the strategic or technical streams listed below. You will move into small breakout groups where discussions will be off the record and led by an expert on the given topic. Delegates are encouraged to bring along their considered ideas and questions in order to facilitate a meaningful and in-depth discussion.
STREAM 1: STRATEGIC1. IEC Standards: how to quantify uncertainties through a more restricted and standardized approach Hugo Herrmann, Offshore Wind Resource Engineer, EDF Energy 2. Challenges of measurements in non-European countries Roy Spence, Technical Leader, SgurrEnergy STREAM 2: TECHNICAL
3. Improving mesoscale modelling and validation methods
4. How can we achieve layout optimisation? Simon Watson, Professor, Loughbourough University 5. Predicted estimates compared to actual production from wind farms – how well can we do? Andrea Eugster, Wind Analyst, Statoil
