WindSim AS launches powerful GCV solver solution enabling cutting edge technology solution to customers worldwide
The GCV (General Collocated Velocity) Solver outperforms all other solutions on the market today which demonstrate limitations in complex
terrain sites. The GCV Solver represents a major upgrade to the WindSim CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) procedure. Comprised of a new
numerical scheme, GCV handles highly non-orthogonal grids, used in complex terrain situations. This powerful technology makes the CFD procedure
faster and more robust without compromising on the accuracy.
TONSBERG, NORWAY--(December 4, 2013) - WindSim AS, a pioneer and leading provider of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) technology used to
optimize wind turbine placement, wind performance, and bankable AEP, announced the launch of the enhanced GCV solver solution. Results from
the use of this advanced technology show maximized wind farm performance; minimized risk, downtime and maintenance cost. Wind park layout
optimization has increased the AEP (Annual Energy Production) by 3% to 10%.
John Olaf Romma, CEO of WindSim AS, said, "Our WindSim CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) technology is used to optimize wind turbine placement
and performance. Using the WindSim software suite from early concept evaluation, through engineering to operation, secures overall capital and
operating cost effectiveness. WindSim AS now strengthens its commitment to the wind resource assessment community by taking the CFD technology to
a new level enabling the wind energy industry to maximize return on investments.”
Arne R. Gravdahl, Ph.D., Founder and CTO of WindSim AS, said, "Our main target has always been to make the wind simulations as accurate as possible.
In the wind energy sector everything drills down to accurate knowledge about the local wind conditions. Today, ten years after the launch of the
first WindSim version, we make a major upgrade of our CFD procedure.”
