WindPRO
Encyclopedia
WindPRO is wind energy software
used to model wind farms. Users are able to design wind farms, including wind turbine layout and electrical design. Energy production, turbine noise levels, turbine wake losses, and turbine suitability can be calculated. WindPro uses wind flow modeling inputs from WAsP
or CFD
software. WindPro is developed by the Danish energy consultant EMD International A/S. WindPRO is trusted by investment banks to create wind energy assessments used to determine financing for proposed wind farms.
WindPRO can optimize a wind farm layout for energy production given turbine spacing, setback distances, noise level and visual constraints. It can also be used to create photomontages in which simulated turbines are overlaid on a photo of a wind farm site, to show what a proposed wind farm would look like if constructed.
Wind energy software
Specialized wind energy software applications aid in the development and operation of wind farms.- Program management :Programs involve equipment vendors and service providers that collaborate throughout the project. Documentation, lease management, asset tracking and warranty management are some...

WAsP
WAsP is a PC program for predicting wind climates, wind resources, and power productions from wind turbines and wind farms. The predictions are based on wind data measured at stations in the same region. The program includes a complex terrain flow model, a roughness change model, and a model for...

Computational fluid dynamics
Computational fluid dynamics, usually abbreviated as CFD, is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows. Computers are used to perform the calculations required to simulate the interaction of liquids and gases with...
