2024 Backcast Study and Methods Update

UL Solutions has performed several onshore backcast studies over the years; the most recent relevant to the Americas was published in 2018, with an additional study performed for Europe in 2020, and updates to uncertainty considerations in 2021.

This white paper compares pre-construction energy estimates performed by UL Solutions. A total of 124 wind plants representing 422 plant years of operation were selected for the study, with all pre-construction wind flow and energy modeling re-run with Backcast 2018 methodology and each region contributing projects that best represented the range of their typical conditions.
