You have been asked to evaluate a site for the installation of a wind turbine. The SEAI Wind Map shows the average annual wind speed at the site at 50m elevation as 7.5 m/s. The site is located in a large area of flat land without any local obstacles. Estimate the wind shear exponent for the site and using this value evaluate the wind speed at an elevation of 75m.
