Customizable, scalable analysis for any project
Define project areas, import turbine layouts and modify wind resource grids to match real-world development scenarios. Easily export energy yield results in multiple formats, enhancing compatibility with Geographic Information System (GIS) tools, financial models and engineering reports.
Wind farm design and layout optimization
Maximize energy production and reduce inefficiencies with advanced site planning and wake analysis tools with Openwind wind farm design software.
Design smarter wind farms for maximum efficiency
Create layouts that maximize production while minimizing the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) with powerful turbine layout and optimization tools that account for wind resources, wake losses, curtailments, noise and environmental constraints.
Optimize turbine placement with real-world cost factors
Factor in access road costs, collector systems, terrain complexity and substation locations to design layouts that balance performance with project costs.
Minimize energy losses with advanced wake modeling
Simulating real-world interactions between turbines can help you reduce wake turbulence and improve energy yield. Fine-tune turbine spacing and alignment with deep-array wake models (DAWM) and multiple wake loss models.
Industry-leading wind resource data and maps
Know your wind resource before you invest. The ULTRUS® Windnavigator platform provides high-resolution wind maps, historical climate data and GIS-ready datasets to help you identify and validate high-potential wind sites faster.
Visualize and compare sites with high-resolution wind maps
Access 200-meter resolution wind resource grids, digital elevation models and roughness data to understand site conditions before installing met towers.
Leverage long-term climate data for accurate forecasting
Analyze decades of reanalysis datasets, including M ERRA-2, ERA5 and WRF-based models, to validate wind speeds, turbulence and seasonal variations.
Seamless GIS integration for smarter decision making
Download wind maps in GeoTIFF, shapefile and KMZ formats to overall wind resource data with land ownership, grid access and environmental constraints.
