GHD was commissioned by UNDP to undertake a wind resources assessment for Upulo, Samoa. Based on the Afulilo on-site data and the NCAR reference data, the long-term average wind speed (LTAWS) for the 30 m level at the Afulilo site was estimated as 4.01 m/s.
Wind mapping report for Aitutaki, Cook Islands to determine wind potential and location of windy sites. Report captures:
Wind tower was erected on the 14th July 2005, but recorded data started on the 17th August 2005 until 1st May 2006. Data was recovered every month.
The Government of Australia, SPC and Government of France under the PREFACE Project supported wind resource monitoring and assessment on Mangaia Island. Wind monitoring mast was installed in April 2001 by SPC and the Ministry of Works, Energy and Physical Planning. Data collection started on 18th April 2001 until 10th July 2002. Data retrieval has been made each month, 19 data files transmitted to VERGNET covering a period from 18/04/01 to 10/07/02 meaning more than a year of available data.
UNDP supported wind resource monitoring and an assessment in Rarotonga. In May 2007 a wind measurement station was installed in the Northeast of Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Wind data for evaluation were available from May 2007 until May 2008. The wind data have been checked and found plausible and complete.
This report presents the wind data evaluation after 12 months measurement at the proposed wind park site Anabar at Nauru Island. The data were obtained from July 2009 to June 2010, from a measuring campaign executed within the framework of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme under SPREP.
The measurement period features an average wind speed of 4.22 m/s in 30 m above ground and shows, therefore, only a marginal to moderate wind regime.
