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 Turbine Wake Effect Calculator

Calculate the reduced wind speed experienced by a downstream turbine due to wake effects from an upstream rotor. Essential for wind farm layout optimisation and accurate annual energy production modelling.
