site modelling
|
Site modelling provides an accurate representation of present and planned development and landscaping, and can be integrated with the site's Master Plan for future development.
Detailed building models can be adapted from available CAD data, or generated based on aerial photography and site survey.

|
High resolution terrain data is used to model the effect of the local relief.
Surrounding trees, vegetation and buildings are included for a complete understanding of the local flows.
|
flow simulation
|
Advanced flow simulation software (CFD) is used to provide scientifically sound advice on local wind flows.
Simulations of winds from multiple directions, combined with known wind statistics derived from on-site measurement.
Robust turbulence model predicts the position and strength of wakes, vortices, shear layers and recirculation zones.

performance prediction
|
Flow simulation yields high-resolution 3D maps of wind speed, wind power density, and turbulence.
3D maps of wind turbine energy yield, based on manufacturer's power curve and detailed wind statistics.
Identify areas exhibiting high turbulence, wind shear and oscillating flows, which can compromise turbine energy yield and reduce operational life.

Proposed placement of turbines to maximise energy yield.
Avoids areas of high turbulence, vertical wind, and wind shear.
Accounts for infrastructural factors including tower height, trenching and transmission.
Modular or staged installation designs, as requested.
