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.

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.
