Abstract: Measurements of the wind energy at the sites of planned location of wind turbines (WTs) require significant expenditures for installation and maintenance of a measuring complex with sensors positioned at the height of WT location. To reduce these expenditures, physical measurements of wind parameters using the sensors placed at lower heights could be complemented by modelling the wind shear up to the height of WT location.
