Renewable energy risk analysis group 3TIER has added a top wind industry executive as its senior director of energy assessment. Matthew Hendrickson will join the international firm with “over 3.9 GW of wind energy development leadership experience,” according to the company.
Prior to 3TIER, Hendrickson was director of energy assessment at EDP Renewables that led to financing and development of more than 3,900 MW of operating wind capacity and a development pipeline of over 20,000 MW. Previously working with 3TIER as a client of EDP, he was a driving force behind the development of 3TIER’s Portfolio Climate Variability Analysis, an automated service that statistically corrects long-term weather model data to on-going observational network data. Hendrickson also conducted an extensive validation study of 3TIER weather model-derived data and proprietary correction process, called model output statistics (MOS), documenting significant advantages of it over the traditional measure correlate predict (MCP) method using classical ground based reference data.
