Abstract: To address the poor quality of early-stage wind measurement data and the limited representativeness of short-term observations for long-term climatic conditions in mountainous wind farms, this study takes a 150 MW wind power project in Guangxi, China, as a case study and proposes an integrated framework of "stepwise data fusion-key parameter refinement-life-cycle techno-economic optimization". For wind resource assessment, a two-stage fusion strategy combining same-mast correlation-based infilling and mesoscale data extrapolation was developed, effectively resolving the heterogeneous data quality among six meteorological masts and revealing significant spatial variations in the wind shear exponent (0.058–0.348). Based on a conservative criterion, the 50-year return-period maximum wind speed was determined to be 31.4 m/s. For turbine selection, the levelized cost of energy was adopted as the core evaluation metric to compare six turbine models rated at 6.0–6.25 MW. The results show that WTG5-200-6.25 is the optimal option, with a levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of 0.321 CNY/kWh, an annual grid-connected electricity generation of 269.915 GWh, and 1799 equivalent full-load hours. In addition, the project can save 82.9 thousand tons of standard coal annually and yield approximately CNY 311 million in carbon-trading revenue over 25 years. The proposed framework provides a useful reference for wind power projects in complex terrain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
