Traditional methods of mast-anchoring a wind resource grid file (.WRG) assume wind roses are constant across the wind farm. As this is not always the case, commercial software employs various techniques to correct the issue.
Unfortunately, current techniques still do not always adequately address this issue: after modeling turbie location energy productio, the mast to turbine wind speed ratios in the energy results can sometimes vary significantly from alrady natively-define ratios within the WRG that were input to the model.
