WindSim and Windplanner have announced that their software systems are able to integrate from now on. WindSim for the energy yield calculations. Windplanner for the visual impact.
Using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) WindSim establishes wind resource maps; it makes simulations of local wind fields, and it calculates wind power forecasts. Windplanner is an online tool to assess the visual impact to the environment. It shows the wind park real time while planning it, from any angle in 2D, 3D and with Google StreetView. With virtual reality glasses, people are able to see the wind farm as if it is already built. Working with both software tools entails the import of turbine locations and dimensions. Also, Windplanner can import the WindSim result layers, such as the Wind Resource Map.
