Wind park layout design, optimisation and calculations
One of IESBG's main advantages is the professional use of several different Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) models to assess the effects from different sources in wind measurements as well best locations for turbines and their future production.
Modeling software
- Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program (WAsP) - software program for predicting wind climate and energy yield of wind turbines. The predictions are based on wind data measured on site or from stations in the same region and considers the effects of the surrounding terrain to the wind flow (topography, surface description, obstacles).
- WindPRO - The WindPRO philosophy is object orientated projecting. A wind park project consists of a number of objects, whereby the wind turbines are key elements. The characteristics of the objects are combined with the terrain data such as the surface roughness maps and the height level contour lines and serve as basic input data for the energy calculations.
- GH WindFarmer – the software has been developed to facilitate the design of wind farms taking account of complex terrain, difficult meteorological situations and practical constraints on the design.
Site Assessment
- Wind Potential – we determine the potential of the project region through analysis of the wind characteristics from the available measurements, correlations, data extension and calculation of the wind change with height
- Energy Yield Assessment – we determine precisely the wind energy distribution in the region and identify the best position to locate a wind turbine [energy graph] [impact]
- Wind Farm Micrositing and design – modelling the optimal placement and annual energy yield of the wind turbines in the most suitable positions in the farm, by setting the necessary limitations and setback distances in advance.
