Job Description Summary

Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

• Carry out wind resource and energy yield assessments for prospective investment sites for GE Vernova Financial Services across the globe using:- Wind resource datasets as available and appropriate for the stage of the project, i.e. meso-scale, Large Eddy Simulation (LES), on-site wind measurement data etc. This will include raw wind data processing, data quality checks, correlation with the most appropriate long term data source/s, wind flow and wake modelling, spatial and vertical extrapolation etc.
• Identify, analyse and quantify different sources of energy losses so as to arrive at a credible net saleable annual average energy estimate.
• Identify, analyse and quantify different sources of uncertainty to provide credible energy yields with different probabilities of exceedance ("P" values) at both gross and net levels.

• Validate developer reports and inputs to perform accurate wind resource assessments.
• Recommend Met Mast locations for new project sites, providing suggestions to optimize the efficiency of wind farms.
• Micro-site and optimize project layouts by completing multiple iterations to finalize designs aimed at reducing wakes and curtailment and maximizing the capacity and energy output of proposed projects.

• Assist different regional development engineering team leads by providing timely inputs as required in the due diligence process.
• Identify potential wind farm sites globally and conduct pre-feasibility studies on proposed sites, ensuring optimal conditions for wind energy generation.

• Manage the wind raw data portfolio, comprising met masts and LIDARS as it grows within the company.
• Provide guidance on wind mast and LIDAR installation and maintenance.

• Manage GE Vernova Financial Services processes including standard work on operations and quality control. Be the accountable person for driving improvement and efficiency gains as process owner.
• Implement systems of work to ensure quality is best in class and in line with interfacing business functions systems of work.

• Conduct field site visits as required for project assessments.
• Participate in external and internal training to stay abreast of best-in-class wind resource data bases and evaluation procedures.

• Deep knowledge and understanding of wind resource assessment domain including different data sets, processes, data collection, analysis, modelling, and energy estimating.
• Proficient in wind resource assessment tools such as OpenWind, WindPRO, WindSTUDIO, WAsP, and mesoscale modeling software.
• Broad geographical exposure
• Expertise in optimizing wind farm layouts and validating technical reports.
• Ability to handle technical and stakeholder queries, offering practical solutions for energy optimization.
• Familiarity with the latest industry trends and tools to enhance assessment accuracy and efficiency.
• Experience in driving process optimisation, ideally with a lean background.
• Ability to autonomously evaluate quality of own and others work.
