Predefined regions allow to cover areas with the highest density of operating wind farms across the world. Predefined regions for onshore wind farms (areas delimited by circles on the maps) correspond to areas of varying sizes within which the wind regime is consistent over time (i.e. similar wind speed variation). Predefined regions for offshore wind farms (dedicated pictogram) correspond to restricted areas located all around European shores, where a significant offshore wind power capacity is operating.
For both onshore and offshore assets, if a location of interest is not covered by our predefined regions, indexes can be ordered and generated on demand for customized locations, no matter where in the world. Our customized indexes take into account the actual location of the wind farm and upon request the specific power curve of your wind farm, a specific long-term reference period, a specific calibration on you farm production.
Ordering indexes on customized locations in addition to other predefined indexes will allow you to get a complete solution, delivered in a single format, for your entire wind farm portfolio.
Discover the main characteristics of irec index products below. You can consult the list of predefined regions or locate your wind farm on the dedicated map.
The average year corresponds to a synthetic year representative of the long-term period considered as the reference
To ensure consistent year-over-year data, the long-term reference period has been set to the decade 2011–2020. Conversion factors to adjust the long-term reference period can be provided to our clients, ensuring alignment with their preferred long-term reference.
