1. A computer-implemented method for performing a wind resource assessment of a potential wind farm site, comprising the steps, each performed by a computer system, of:
(a) receiving wind condition data measured at the potential wind farm site over a given short term and wind condition data measured at a plurality of sites geographically proximal to the potential wind farm site over a given long term that includes the given short term; (b) synchronizing the wind condition data measured at the potential wind farm site with the wind condition data measured at the plurality of geographically proximal sites over the given short term to generate time-synchronized data sets; (c) building multivariate Gaussian copula correlation models between the time-synchronized data sets; and (d) using the multivariate Gaussian copula correlation models and the wind condition data measured at the plurality of geographically proximal sites over the given long term, excluding the given short term, to estimate long term wind conditions at the potential wind farm site, and expressing said estimated long term wind conditions as a set of probability distributions. |
