Correlation of Wind Flow and Timber Production P = 1/2d x A x V3 • Upwind trees can reduce wind velocity by causing turbulence • Clearing/vegetation management maintains power production efficiency
Effect of Wind Power Harvesting on Timber Management Wind Box Identifies the area to be cleared to facilitate energy production Wind Rose Identifies energy to be harvested
Wind Box Estimate Each Turbine Site: • Construction area • 2 acres – already cleared for turbine installation • Wind flow clearing area • 0 acres 12.5 acres (depending on topography)
Defining Wind BoxDesign Parameters Nordex N90: 2.3 mw
Conducting Biological Assessments • Tree farms and wind parks are compatible • Work with Weyerhaeuser data • Limited ESA risks • EverPower is monitoring Marbled Murrelet, Spotted Owl, bats, & others
Development ProcessMarkets Key Factors • Transmission interconnection • Power market • Utility off-takers
EPC Contracting Turbine Supplier’s Role • Turbine and Tower • Delivery • Commissioning • Warranty turbines with staff
