Wind Energy
Wind Farm Layout Spacing Calculator
Calculate the recommended turbine spacing (in rotor diameters) for a wind farm based on rotor size, wind direction spread, terrain complexity, and wake decay. Use this during the layout design phase to balance land use against wake losses.

Wind Energy
Wind Farm Capacity Factor Calculator
Calculate the capacity factor of a wind turbine or wind farm, the fraction of its theoretical maximum output that was actually delivered over a period. It is the single most important metric for comparing real-world wind project performance.
