Wind Energy
Wind Farm Turbine Spacing Calculator
Calculate the minimum center-to-center distance between wind turbines based on rotor diameter and spacing factors for downwind and crosswind directions. Use this during wind farm layout design to reduce wake-induced energy 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.
