Mr. Randall has ten years of experience in professional consulting, statistical analysis, computer model development, regulatory compliance, and project management. His responsibilities at GEC include analysis and reporting of performance data, planning and conduct of turbine performance tests, and development of systems for evaluation of turbine data. Mr. Randall is also experienced with spatial analysis of data using geographic information systems, dispersion modeling, development of Internet-based information management systems, and risk analyses. He has conducted wind flow modeling, energy projections, site optimization studies, visualization, and wake estimations on a number of wind projects and he is familiar with several different commercially available software programs for wind modeling activities. His recent work has included an investigation of the operational impacts of wind energy projects on utility grids, analyses of nighttime wind shear values at Midwest project sites, development of methods for using nacelle anemometers to verify performance of wind turbines, technical and financial review of bids for proposed wind projects, and statistical analysis of operations and maintenance data for wind energy facilities to forecast future component failures and associated repair expenditures. Mr. Randall has also presented the results of research at several wind industry conferences. |
