Short summary
Atmospheric large-eddy simulation is a technique that simulates weather conditions in high detail and is used to plan new wind farms. This research presents ways to estimate the long-term (10-year) power production of a wind farm without having to simulate 10 years of weather and instead simulating much less (1 year or less). The results show that the methods reduce the uncertainty in power production estimates by an order of magnitude and that wind observations can be included as well to add more insight.
