- Experienced in managing multiple meteorological Masts & LiDAR , including a development mast and a PCVT mast with over 70 +.

- Handling multiple solar stations, including stand-alone SRS and mounted pyranometer on meteorological mast.

- Capable of creating a one-year time series for an installed LiDAR location using six months of data. This involves utilizing advanced data processing techniques to extrapolate and interpolate the available data to generate a comprehensive time series.
- Working knowledge of performing resource assessments using industry standard tools for filtering the data like WindPRO, Windographer, etc.

- Generation calculation for preliminary site assessment using mast data with different power curve and WTG model. - Knowledgeable about handling uncertainty calculations, AEP estimations, and probability functions associated with them, potential for a given site.
- Knowledgeable about handling uncertainty calculations, AEP estimations, and probability functions associated with them. (P50, P75, P99)

- I can identify optimal locations for PCVT mast installation by analyzing wind patterns and free wind scores.

- I have extensive experience in installing over 20 meteorological masts and multiple solar stations per year, and I always follow best practices to ensure timely installation and adherence to schedules. Additionally, I prioritize safety by considering HSE guidelines and safety rules for both erection and dismantling work

  • Pre-bid Support and Project development

-I have experience in providing different Annual Energy Production (AEP) scenarios for wind farm bids and tenders. This involves analyzing various wind turbine power curves and wake-optimized layouts to achieve the P50 AEP, which represents the median annual energy production. Additionally, I have contributed to the development of Time Varying AEP, which involves generating 8760 hourly data for tender submissions.

- As an expert in identifying potential new sites for wind farm and hybrid projects, I take into account various factors during the site selection process. This includes analyzing details of upcoming STU and CTU substations, connectivity, land availability, and competitor details. Based on my analysis, I propose the best potential new sites to the BD team for future development.
