Base Module

This module is the heart of GH WindFarmer. It has all the fundamental capabilities necessary to design your wind farm professionally. Key features are a full, detailed and precise energy yield calculation, uncertainty analysis, noise modelling, mapping features and a powerful automatic layout optimiser.

The other GH WindFarmer modules require the Base Module and offer further advanced options.

The Base Module includes:

Uncertainty analysis with exceedence levels for the net energy yield (P90, P75, etc.)
Interface to import wind resource data from versions 4-9 of WAsP, and compatible wind flow modelling software, (WindSim, meteodyn, Metras, WindMap etc.)
MAP handling: import of a wide range of commonly used and generic map formats (NTF, DXF, DGW, DEM, MAP, SDTS, ASCII, BMP) and transformation between contour lines and grid based spot-height formats
Definition of wind farm boundaries, exclusion zones and set-back distances from boundaries. Wind farms can span several separate areas
Turbine Studio for creating a database of wind turbine specifications
Advanced wind farm wake loss modelling (GH Eddy Viscosity Model)
Advanced energy calculation options (e.g. use of the measured distribution, turbine specific air density, sector management, wake loss and turbulence adjustments)
Automatic layout optimisation to design a wind farm with minimal impact on the environment
Noise impact modelling according to current international standards
Energy, wind speed, noise and ground slope maps
Separate and cumulative analysis of multiple wind farms

The results of your analysis are exported to Microsoft Word™, Microsoft Excel™ and plain text formats for maximum convenience.
