Hello, I have a question regarding the uncertainty estimates. When using the "add/remove uncertainty estimates" there is an "Example" button which gives a set of uncertainty estimates on wind speed and AEP. I was wondering if these estimates are just a random set or a set of standard estimates. In case these are random estimates as I imagine they are because I suppose that these estimates depend largely on site specific conditions, are there any standard or good practice estimates that you suggest using? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Guido.

Niels, I forgot to mention that I have the power curve of the selected wind turbine. I have been reading the course notes but I am not sure if I fully understand how to generate the land cover / roughness map. Could you help me with this step? What I understood is that I need to find a digital land cover map or a paper one if I want to digitize it myself. If this is the kind of map that I have in mind, this map shows the limits between areas with different type of land cover and the description of each land cover. Once I have the digital map I have to add each individual roughness length value for each digitized area. Here I am not sure how to continue. I thought about entering the roughness values based on the roughness classes of the European Wind Atlas using the land cover description in the map to decide which roughness class best suits each area. Is this correct? Are there land cover maps where the roughness length value is already specified in the map? Best regards, Guido.

Hello, I am working on a thesis related to wind energy and I am about to request a WasP 11 student license. Given that this type of license is temporary I am here to ask if the information I have is enough to run my analysis using the software. Right now I have: - Wind speed and direction records of the areas in study. - SRTM3 elevation maps (already converted to .map). Is this information enough? I would like to have all the information needed before the start date for the license is set so I would be grateful if you can comment. Best regards, Guido.
