Solutions: openWind® Enterprise
 

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.
