Tools

Smart climate data integration

Quickly assess wind and solar conditions using global datasets like ERA5, MERRA2, CERRA, and Heliosat SARAH — with and without on-site measurements. Screen, Clean and Repair measurement data with clever filters and analysis tools. Visualize multiple datasets at once from any mast or remote sensing device.

Wind resource mapping

Create detailed wind resource maps, incorporating terrain complexity, turbulence intensity, and other site-specific parameters to inform optimal turbine placement.​

Site suitability check

Assess site suitability against international standards, including evaluations for extreme winds, turbulence, and tropical cyclones, ensuring compliance and safety. ​

Energy yield simulation

Simulate wind farm layouts, calculate energy production, and assess wake losses. Incorporates time-series calculations and supports complex curtailment strategies that interact with wakes.

Performance-boosting optimizers

Maximize energy, cut costs, and extend turbine life. Optimize layout, noise curtailment, and turbine lifetime — all with precision tools built into windPRO.

Noise impact analysis

Conduct detailed noise assessments, ensuring compliance with local regulations. The Curtailment Optimizer can generate strategies to minimize noise impact while maintaining energy production. ​windPRO includes noise codes for a dozen countries approved by national authorities.

Shadow flicker assessment

Analyze shadow flicker effects on surrounding areas, producing detailed maps and calendars to assess potential impacts on nearby residences.​

Solar optimizer

Design and optimize solar PV layouts, adjusting parameters such as row spacing, tilt, and azimuth to maximize energy yield and financial returns. Includes a Price Generator to simulate future electricity prices for accurate Net Present Value (NPV) calculations. ​

Glare risk evaluation

Evaluate the potential glare from solar PV installations, assessing the impact on surrounding areas and mitigating concerns from stakeholders. ​

Photorealistic project visualizations

Create photorealistic visualizations of wind turbines and solar panels within actual landscape photos or panoramic views. Facilitates stakeholder engagement by providing clear visual representations of proposed projects. ​

Financial feasibility modelling

Perform financial analyses, including cash flow projections and investment appraisals, to assess the economic viability of projects.​

Assess sub-optimal performance

Is my wind farm generating the expected amount of power based on the actual wind conditions observed? This is valuable information for wind farm owners and operators.

Calculate long-term production

Given the amount of energy already produced, what is the most reliable forecast for future production with minimal uncertainty? This is a key consideration for both buyers and sellers of wind farms.

Calibrate flow model for extensions

By understanding how the existing wind farm performs, you can train a model to estimate the output of a proposed wind farm in the surrounding area.

Custom workflow automation

Automate processes within windPRO using Python scripting, enabling batch processing and customized workflows to enhance efficiency.

Hybrid energy systems modelling

Model and evaluate hybrid systems combining wind, solar, storage, and non-renewables. Assess financial feasibility using time series for production, prices, tariffs, and demand — including LCOE, NPV, and IRR. Optimize the sizing of each component to find the most cost-effective mix, accounting for price signals and grid constraints.
