<abstract>
<p>In the wind industry, estimating extreme wind speeds over a 50-year period using one year of data presents challenges due to the limited representation of extreme events. This study proposes a methodology that combines measurements from Cabauw (The Netherlands) with the ASPIRE 100x100 m horizontal resolution large-eddy simulation. Using 20 years of Cabauw measurements as a reference, we compared four methods to estimate the 50-year wind speed (&lt;em&gt;V&lt;sub&gt;ref&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;sub&gt; &lt;/sub&gt;). The results show that combining ASPIRE with one year of measurements improves &lt;em&gt;V&lt;sub&gt;ref&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp; estimates, matching the 20-year reference within 3 %. With these promising results, our aim is to apply this methodology to 12-month wind measurement campaigns from the wind industry.</p>
