Wind Energy
Wind Load on Turbine Calculator
Calculates the total quasi-static wind force acting on a wind turbine tower for structural engineering checks. Use it to verify tower design against IEC or national building code wind load requirements.

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.
