Return on investment of a lidar remote sensing device

The Annual Energy Production (AEP) is the quantity of energy delivered per year by a wind farm. During the project study, a Wind Resource Assessment Program (WRAP) is designed to estimate the mean expected AEP (P50) and the uncertainty on the AEP (óAEP). These two decisive numbers drive the financing of the project. Small derivations in the calculated level of uncertainty can have a significant effect on project financing.
