Three met-towers for wind measurement were installed in Sri Lanka as part of Quantum Leap in Wind program of the Asian Development Bank at:
Two met-towers for wind measurement were installed in Mongolia as part of Quantum Leap in Wind program of the Asian Development Bank at:
These two permanent met-masts will enable more accurate mapping of wind resources in Mongolia.
At the Asia Clean Energy Forum 2014, Pramod Jain was a panelist on June 18 in the "Promotion of Utility Scale Renewable Energy Applications" session. He spoke about challenges of developing economically viable utility-scale wind projects in new and emerging wind markets. Experiences from Quantum Leap in Wind Power in Asia and the Pacific were presented.
The Asian Development Bank released a publication "Guidelines for Wind Resource Assessment: Best Practices for Countries Initiating Wind Development". Pramod Jain is the lead author. It may be downloaded from:
