Comparing WAsP and CFD wind resource estimates for the “ regular ” user

A lot of debate has been produced around its relative performance between WAsP and CFD. However, conclusions are always masked by the chance of user interference in final results. The fact is that, that CFD calculations, even for commercial packages, can be fine tuned to fit results to data from observations. If local measurements are available, namely on more than one locations and with observations at different heights (to allow wind profile assessment and cross site prediction), several model setup parameters can be adjusted by an experienced user to achieve better results in a single point.
