Wind Yield Engineer
Responsible for assessing and optimizing wind farm energy production by analyzing wind resource data, turbine performance, and atmospheric conditions. They conduct wind resource assessments, create energy yield models, and optimize turbine layouts to maximize efficiency and minimize losses. This role involves working with meteorological data, computational models, and site measurements to ensure accurate predictions of energy output. Their expertise is crucial in determining the financial viability of wind projects and optimizing long-term energy generation.
Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Renewable Energy, Mechanical Engineering, Atmospheric Science, or a related field.
• Strong understanding of wind resource assessment, turbine aerodynamics, and energy modeling.
• Proficiency in software tools such as WindPRO, WAsP, OpenWind, or CFD-based wind modeling.
Additional Requirements:
• Experience with data analysis, GIS mapping, and remote sensing technologies (e.g., LiDAR, SODAR).
• Familiarity with offshore wind energy industry standards and grid integration requirements.
• Offshore safety certifications (e.g., GWO Basic Safety Training) may be required.
• Ability to collaborate with meteorologists, engineers, and project developers to optimize wind farm performance.
