Centralized Project Management
-
Project Explorer Globe
Get a complete overview of all your projects across the globe, organized by location and project stage. -
Layer-Based Object Management
Structure your project components (turbines, met masts, buildings, roads, etc.) into layers for flexible planning and scenario comparison. -
Integrated Data Workflow
Easily organize terrain, turbine data, contour lines, roughness values, and satellite images in one centralized workspace. -
Smart Project Setup Wizard
Automatically download site-specific data (maps, terrain, roughness, satellite images) with a few clicks using windPRO’s Online Data Services.
Advanced Map Management System
-
Interactive Layout Design
Draw and adjust project layouts directly on top of online or imported maps. Design turbine positions, access roads, exclusion zones, and more. -
Support for Global Coordinate Systems
Use any standard or country-specific coordinate system thanks to a vast built-in reference database. -
Georeferencing and Google Earth Sync
Georeference scanned maps or import digital maps for precise spatial accuracy. Sync your layout with Google Earth for photo-realistic visualization and geo-tagged placement of objects.
World-Leading Wind Turbine Catalogue
-
Extensive WTG Database
Access technical specifications for over 1,000 wind turbine types, including current models and older units, constantly updated with input from turbine manufacturers. -
Custom Turbine Entries
Add your own turbine types and datasets for full flexibility in design and analysis. - Detailed Turbine Data Includes:
- Manufacturer, type, generator size, rotor diameter, hub height
- Power and thrust curves (multiple versions)
- Acoustic/noise data (including octave bands)
- Visual characteristics (color, blade width, geometry)
- Electrical configuration (eGrid data)
This makes it easy to model both existing turbines and new installations, supporting calculations for repowering or impact studies.
Efficient Data Handling Tools
-
Terrain & Elevation Profiles
Instantly visualize terrain profiles, view turbine positions, and measure site elevation differences. -
Shape File & GPS Data Import/Export
Seamlessly import/export data in standard formats like .shp, .dxf, .xyz, .kmz, ensuring compatibility with GIS and CAD software. -
Map Composer Tool
Create high-quality custom maps for reports with scalable resolution and legends tailored to your branding or regulatory requirements. -
Quick Profile Tool
