Variability in wind speeds is significantly lower than previously understood – potentially helping to cut levelised cost of energy (LCoE) at future projects, according to a new study into the UK’s offshore wind resource.
The ‘Study on UK Offshore Wind Variability’ report, undertaken by DNV GL on behalf of The Crown Estate, has revealed that these improved project forecasts can help bring down LCoE for future offshore wind farms as measurements have now been revised.
