   1.1 Overview

        3TIER has been retained by Client to assess the wind resource over the Yellowstone region, and our analysis is presented
        in this report. This summary section discusses the overall properties of the project. Following it, section 2 shows the mean
        wind speed and capacity factor over the entire Yellowstone region, at 200m resolution, and displays turbine and reference
        point locations. Section 3 contains mean wind speeds and wind and power roses at the 5 reference points provided by
        Client. Project-wide monthly, hourly, and annual means for wind speed and capacity factor can be seen in section 4.
        In section 5, tabular data for each turbine are available, including location, base elevation, mean wind speed (at hub
        height), mean air density (also at hub height), and wind shear between 30m and 80m. The turbine power curve for the
        SWT23 (with hub height 80m) is also provided, in Table 5. For overall project data and production statistics, see Table 1
        directly below. These quantities are computed over every turbine location (see section 5), and do not include data from
        the reference points.

1.2 Data provided by Client

   Client has provided 3TIER with 59 turbine locations to be used in an analysis of the wind resource across the Yellow-
   stone region (see section 2 for the locations of these turbines). At each of these turbine locations, timeseries data were
   extracted from the model output and used to compute the capacity factor for that turbine. Detailed information for each
   turbine can be seen in section 5, and the overall production statistics for the project can be seen on the previous page
   in Table 1. Additionally, information on the best and worst performing turbines can be seen in Table 2. For reference
   purposes, the power curve for the SWT23 turbine is provided in Table 5.
   Client has also specified the loss factors listed in Table 3 below. These were used to compute the net production statistics,
   which can be seen in Table 1 on the previous page, as well as in Figure 8 in section 4.
   In addition to turbine locations, Client has provided 5 meteorological reference points, which are labeled on the maps in
   section 2. Wind speed and direction timeseries were extracted at these points, and an analysis is presented in section 3,
   which includes the overall mean wind speeds at each reference point, and wind and power roses showing the distribution
   of wind direction. Section 3 is meant to provide an easily readable overview of the wind resource over the area.

1.4 Methodology

   3TIER used a numerical weather prediction model, the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF), to analyze the
   wind resource across the Yellowstone region, and downscaled that dataset to 200m using our proprietary Time-Varying
   Microscale (TVM) model. WRF enables a very sophisticated but computationally intensive simulation of the dynamical
   and physical processes of the atmosphere, and the TVM model complements it by using diagnostic techniques to analyze
   microscale processes without the prohibitive computational cost of running WRF at high resolution. Initial and lateral
   boundary conditions for WRF were extracted from the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data, a multi-decadal coarse-resolution
   observational dataset sufficient to provide accurate representation of synoptic-scale processes. In this case, WRF was run
   on a 5km grid from January 1999 through December 2008, then downscaled to a 200m grid using TVM.
   After the spatial dataset was generated, the wind resource was analyzed at each reference point and turbine location (as
   provided by Client), and the results are presented in this report. Additionally, several project-wide statistics are computed
   (see Table 1 above).
   Since no observational data were provided within the Yellowstone region, the data in this report represent raw model
   output only.

        These tables contain the mean of each hour (0 through 23) from each month in the year. Each column, therefore, shows
        that month’s mean diurnal cycle, and the annual mean diurnal cycle can be read down the rightmost column, which is
        composed of the overall means of each hour. The bottom row contains each month’s mean, and in the bottom right cell
        is the overall mean. These means are computed across all 59 turbine locations provided by Client, and do not include the
        reference points.

  • 4. Yellowstone Introduction For Client .................................................................................................................. 1 INTRODUCTION ........................................................................................................................................ 1.1 Overview 3TIER has been retained by Client to assess the wind resource over the Yellowstone region, and our analysis is presented in this report. This summary section discusses the overall properties of the project. Following it, section 2 shows the mean wind speed and capacity factor over the entire Yellowstone region, at 200m resolution, and displays turbine and reference point locations. Section 3 contains mean wind speeds and wind and power roses at the 5 reference points provided by Client. Project-wide monthly, hourly, and annual means for wind speed and capacity factor can be seen in section 4. In section 5, tabular data for each turbine are available, including location, base elevation, mean wind speed (at hub height), mean air density (also at hub height), and wind shear between 30m and 80m. The turbine power curve for the SWT23 (with hub height 80m) is also provided, in Table 5. For overall project data and production statistics, see Table 1 directly below.

  • 5. Yellowstone Introduction For Client .................................................................................................................. 1.2 Data provided by Client Client has provided 3TIER with 59 turbine locations to be used in an analysis of the wind resource across the Yellow- stone region (see section 2 for the locations of these turbines). At each of these turbine locations, timeseries data were extracted from the model output and used to compute the capacity factor for that turbine. Detailed information for each turbine can be seen in section 5, and the overall production statistics for the project can be seen on the previous page in Table 1. Additionally, information on the best and worst performing turbines can be seen in Table 2. For reference purposes, the power curve for the SWT23 turbine is provided in Table 5. Client has also specified the loss factors listed in Table 3 below. These were used to compute the net production statistics, which can be seen in Table 1 on the previous page, as well as in Figure 8 in section 4. In addition to turbine locations, Client has provided 5 meteorological reference points, which are labeled on the maps in section 2. Wind speed and direction timeseries were extracted at these points, and an analysis is presented in section 3, which includes the overall mean wind speeds at each reference point, and wind and power roses showing the distribution of wind direction. Section 3 is meant to provide an easily readable overview of the wind resource over the area.

  • 6. Yellowstone Introduction For Client .................................................................................................................. 1.4 Methodology 3TIER used a numerical weather prediction model, the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF), to analyze the wind resource across the Yellowstone region, and downscaled that dataset to 200m using our proprietary Time-Varying Microscale (TVM) model. WRF enables a very sophisticated but computationally intensive simulation of the dynamical and physical processes of the atmosphere, and the TVM model complements it by using diagnostic techniques to analyze microscale processes without the prohibitive computational cost of running WRF at high resolution. Initial and lateral boundary conditions for WRF were extracted from the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data, a multi-decadal coarse-resolution observational dataset sufficient to provide accurate representation of synoptic-scale processes. In this case, WRF was run on a 5km grid from January 1999 through December 2008, then downscaled to a 200m grid using TVM. After the spatial dataset was generated, the wind resource was analyzed at each reference point and turbine location (as provided by Client), and the results are presented in this report. Additionally, several project-wide statistics are computed (see Table 1 above). Since no observational data were provided within the Yellowstone region, the data in this report represent raw model output only. 4 c 2010 3TIER, Inc.
