Built on the success of the community edition, openWind® Enterprise is a wind project design and optimization software application created to provide professional wind developers with a highly configurable toolbox of capabilities that extend beyond energy capture.

openWind Enterprise provides a number of advanced features that professional wind developers have been waiting for. Using industry-leading geographical information systems (GIS) interface, users can optimize for cost of energy, assess deep array impacts, define and analyze strategies for managed shut-down of turbines, and manage uncertainty.

Some exclusive enterprise features and capabilities include:

• Optimization for Cost of Energy
• Deep Array Wake Reports
• Uncertainty Module
• Directional Curtailment
• Gridded Turbine Layouts
• Effective Turbulence Intensity
• Time-Series Energy Capture

Standard features and capabilities include:

• Energy Capture
• Wake Models: Modified Park, Eddy-Viscosity
• Layout Optimization
• ISO 9613 Noise Model
• Viewshed Analyses

openWind was initially launched as an open-source application. Since then it has been tested by a broad user group and has been proven effective in closing the gap between pre-construction energy estimates and actual wind plant performance. Read more about this in the methods and validation paper.
