Wind Energy
Wind Energy Density Calculator
Compute the wind power flux (watts per square meter) available at a site for a given wind speed and air density. This is the gross resource: the energy passing through every square meter of rotor area before any turbine extracts it.

Wind Energy
Wind Resource Assessment Calculator
Estimate the energy density of a wind site using average wind speed and the Weibull shape parameter. Use this when evaluating whether a location has sufficient wind potential for turbine installation.
