About this assessment:The goal of this study is to provide a wind resource assessment (WRA) for the HKNWFZ. The results can be used as input for wind farm modelling, yield assessments and business case calculations for the offshore wind farm to be developed at HKN.

• The analysis is based on the best possible data and state-of-the-art methods and models and is designed to be in accordance with applicable offshore standards.
• For calculation of wake effects, an innovative LES-model has been used and compared with industry standard models.
• The study consists of an elaborated wind resource assessment using on-site metocean campaign data and off-site met mast data.
• The study concludes with a discussion and the combined findings from both elements for a final wind climate assessment.
