Wind Energy
Wind Shear Profile Calculator
Calculate wind speed at any target height from a known reference measurement using the power-law wind shear model. Use this when designing turbine towers or assessing how terrain and atmospheric conditions affect wind resource at hub height.

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.
