Tools

Wind energy planning

Wind Resource Assessment
Estimate site conditions using global datasets like ERA5 or MERRA2 — even without on-site measurements. Analyze with wind roses, MCP, and frequency tables.

Turbine Layout Optimization
Design the most efficient turbine layout — for max energy (AEP), lowest cost (LCOE), or highest profit (NPC).

Energy Yield Simulation
Simulate wind farm performance and calculate expected production using trusted wake and terrain models.

Compliance Check
Ensure your site meets international standards by analyzing wind extremes, turbulence, and turbine class suitability.

Lifetime Performance Optimization
Adjust operation modes to maximize output while preserving long-term turbine health (20–40+ years).

Solar energy planning

Solar Layout & Yield Analysis
Design optimized PV layouts and simulate production, including economics (NPV) and pricing scenarios.

Glare Risk Evaluation
Identify and mitigate glare impacts for nearby roads and buildings using detailed solar reflection models.

Environmental & community impact

Noise Impact Optimization
Find the best operating strategy to meet noise limits while preserving energy output — no turbine relocation needed.

Shadow Flicker Assessment
Model and mitigate shadow flicker to meet regulations and reduce neighbor concerns.

Advanced Noise Modeling
Use NORD2000 and other high-resolution models to assess sound propagation, terrain effects, and noise curtailment.

Visualization

Photorealistic Project Visuals
Create accurate visualizations of turbines or solar arrays in real landscapes — ideal for public outreach and permitting.

3D Editing with SketchUp
Easily import/export windPRO layouts to SketchUp for enhanced 3D design and presentation.

Grid & financial planning

Electrical Grid Design
Plan internal cabling and external connections to minimize energy loss and infrastructure cost.

Financial Feasibility Modeling
Run full financial scenarios, from cashflow to bankability, with flexible inputs and investment models.

Monitoring & analysis

Performance Check
Analyze operational data to detect underperformance, identify losses, and verify actual vs. expected output.

Automation & customization

Workflow Scripting
Use Python-based automation to streamline repetitive tasks, customize calculations, and scale analyses.

Hybrid systems

Hybrid Energy System Modeling
Combine wind, solar, storage, and backup systems to evaluate technical performance and financial viability.

For every step of your project

From pre-construction planning, where it aids in site assessment, energy yield calculations, and environmental impact analysis, to post-construction phases and operational analysis, windPRO is your all-in-one solution.
