DNV EPA validations

DNV periodically make large-scale accuracy studies comparing of annual energy production predicted within DNV’s pre-construction Energy Production Assessments against actual measured production for those same wind farms post construction. Below is a history of published reports of such validation exercises accumulated since 2007.
