The WindFarmer software makes it easy to predict reliable yield results for future wind farms, bringing the world's most validated methodologies to secure the long-term return on investments for your projects.
Empower users to create their own robust workflows and automate processes, saving valuable time and resources with the ability to perform complex calculations and trace the results.
Our mature scripting functionality provides flexibility to innovate and customize your workflows to your specific needs, automate repetitive workflows and achieve accurate results with shorter delivery schedules.
WindFarmer is a cutting-edge software tool that allows users to rapidly and simply master the complexity of wind energy analysis.
WindFarmer is a reliable and comprehensive desktop software application for wind energy assessment, utilizing DNV's standard methodology and drawing on extensive onshore and offshore operational data to address the challenges of the rapidly expanding wind industry.
The WindFarmer Base module is a wind energy assessment software that helps design and optimize wind farm layouts by considering wind flow analysis, wake models and blockage effects to accurately predict annual energy production.
Includes:
The WindFarmer Environment module is an optional add-on to the Base module that helps you prioritize environmental compliance in wind farm design by offering the option to conduct environmental assessments to identify any potential permitting risks. Wind farms can be designed by considering factors such as wind resources, noise emissions, and shadow flicker.
Includes:
The optional WindFarmer Automation module allows users to customize their workflows and automate batch calculations and iterated design investigations task.
Users can easily create complex scripts without prior coding experience thanks to its user-friendly interface, and the built-in library of pre-built modules provides a wide range of functionality.
This software includes everything you need to complete any task efficiently and accurately, whether it's automating data analysis, producing reports, or performing complex calculations.
