Wind Probability of Exceedance

This plot shows the Wind data at Claire Ridge covering the last 10-20 years. Maximum velocity from the CFD simulations were carried out at this location for two scenarios. Those carried out at a reference speed (10 m above sea level) of 8.4 m/s and 16.6 m/s.

Calculation of the exceedance speed, i.e. reference speed at 10 m above sea level results in greater than 5 m/s, 10 m/s etc at the location were computed. Finally the % of time the exceedance speed is exceeded is computed and presented in the radar chart.
