Abstract: Correlated sets of historical meteorological data and terrain data are obtained for at least one geographical area. A data model is derived based on the basis of the correlated sets, by training the data model. The trained data model is adapted to identify coherence between meteorological data and terrain data relating to the same geographical area. Meteorological data and terrain data related to the renewable energy site are fed to the trained data model, the terrain data having a higher resolution than the meteorological data. Using the trained model, meteorological data related to the renewable energy site with increased resolution is estimated by downscaling the meteorological data. The estimated meteorological data with increased resolution for the renewable energy site is then used for planning a layout of the renewable energy site.
