Once you’ve gathered sufficient local measurements at your potential wind farm site, it’s time to make some critical decisions—one of the most important being the MCP process for long-term extrapolation of wind speed time series. Vortex SERIES provides historical wind speed time series with excellent correlation for most sites, but it’s up to you to validate its performance for your specific wind resource assessment. To help you make an informed choice, we provide a free 6-month wind speed time series sample download, so you can test the data before committing to a purchase.

Reliable wind speed time series are a cornerstone of robust wind resource assessment projects once on-site measurements are available. Vortex SERIES complements short- and mid-term measured data by providing historical wind speed time series specifically designed to support MCP-based long-term extrapolation workflows. By extending local observations into multi-decadal reference periods, engineers can reduce uncertainty, assess interannual variability, and improve the bankability of wind energy projects.
The dataset is particularly valuable for evaluating long-term wind behavior under different large-scale climatic conditions, enabling consistency checks between measured data and reanalysis-driven wind speed time series. This allows project developers to identify potential biases, seasonal deviations, and long-term trends that may influence energy yield estimates and financial assumptions. A carefully validated wind speed time series can therefore make the difference between an optimistic yield estimate and a bankable one.
Vortex SERIES is therefore well suited for detailed correlation analysis, representativeness studies, and sensitivity testing within standard wind resource assessment methodologies. Because every site behaves differently, comparing multiple wind speed time series sources is always recommended before selecting the final long-term reference for your MCP analysis.
Use Vortex SERIES when you already have local measurements and need a robust historical wind speed time series to support long-term extrapolation, reduce uncertainty, and strengthen wind resource assessment for wind farm development.
Once you’ve gathered sufficient local measurements at your potential wind farm site, it’s time to make a critical decision: how to run the MCP process for long-term extrapolation of your wind speed time series. Vortex SERIES provides historical wind speed time series with strong correlation for most sites. To help you validate its performance before committing, we offer a free 6-month wind speed time series sample, allowing you to compare the dataset directly with your own on-site measurements before starting your MCP analysis.
Reliable historical wind speed time series are a cornerstone of robust wind resource assessment once on-site measurements are available. By extending short- and mid-term observations into long-term reference periods, developers can significantly reduce uncertainty and improve confidence in future energy production estimates.
Vortex SERIES complements measured wind data by extending local observations into 10-, 20- or 30-year historical wind speed time series. This long-term reference enables engineers and consultants to perform more reliable MCP (Measure-Correlate-Predict) analyses, evaluate interannual variability, reduce uncertainty and improve the bankability of wind energy projects during technical due diligence and financing.
Historical wind speed datasets also provide an independent reference for validating measurement campaigns and ensuring that short monitoring periods accurately represent the site’s long-term wind climate.

The dataset is particularly valuable for evaluating long-term wind behaviour under different large-scale climatic conditions. Engineers can compare measured data with reanalysis-based historical wind speed time series to identify seasonal deviations, long-term trends and systematic biases that could otherwise affect energy yield predictions.
This additional validation layer helps improve financial models, reduces uncertainty during project development and increases confidence before investment decisions are made, particularly in regions with strong interannual wind variability.
A wind speed time series is a chronological record of wind speed values—typically hourly—covering a specific period at a given location. It allows engineers to analyze wind behavior over time, including seasonal patterns, diurnal cycles, and long-term trends relevant to wind resource assessment.
A historical wind speed time series extends short-term on-site measurements into a multi-decadal reference period. This is essential for MCP (Measure-Correlate-Predict) processes, allowing you to estimate long-term wind conditions and reduce uncertainty in energy yield calculations.
Most industry standards recommend at least 10–20 years of historical wind speed time series data to capture interannual variability and represent long-term climatic conditions accurately.
Vortex SERIES delivers wind speed time series data at hourly resolution, which is standard for MCP-based long-term extrapolation and detailed wind resource assessment studies.
Yes. We offer a free 6-month wind speed time series sample so you can validate correlation and performance against your own measurements before committing to a full purchase.
Accuracy is validated by comparing the wind speed time series against local on-site measurements through correlation analysis, bias checks, and consistency testing across different climatic conditions.
The Vortex SERIES wind speed time series is derived from reanalysis-driven historical wind data, downscaled and validated globally to ensure strong correlation with real-world measurements at most sites.
Yes, local measurements are recommended. A wind speed time series is designed to complement short- or mid-term on-site data, not replace it, enabling robust long-term extrapolation through MCP methods.
By covering multiple decades, a wind speed time series reveals year-to-year fluctuations in wind resource, helping developers assess risk and improve the bankability of a wind energy project.
Yes. When properly validated against on-site data, a wind speed time series like Vortex SERIES supports the level of rigor required for bankable, investment-grade wind resource assessment studies.
Wind speed time series data is typically delivered in standard formats (e.g., CSV or TXT) compatible with common wind resource assessment and MCP software tools.
By comparing the wind speed time series against measured data across different seasons and climatic conditions, you can detect systematic biases, seasonal deviations, or long-term trends that may affect your energy yield estimates.
