Windsim Accelerator
High accuracy wind field simulations in less time
WindSim Accelerator helps wind farm investors, developers, consultants and operators develop projects with superior accuracy in less time. This is achieved by wind field simulations performed in the cloud.
The superior simulation accuracy secures wind farm profitability, allowing for increased energy production, reduced maintenance costs and improved financing. Project risks are lowered by using WindSim Accelerator – with high accuracy, high speed wind field simulations.
How it works
The relevant area is selected and elevation and roughness data is extracted via integrated ArcGIS data in the Map module and a grid file is created. A 3D model is created, based on the grid file and input properties in the Model module. To reproduce the local wind climate many simulations of the local wind fields are required, representing different wind directions, different atmospheric conditions and seasonal variations. In the cloud all these simulations can be done simultaneously in the Wind Fields module. Each single simulation can also be parallelized. Additionally, wind farm projects can be run simultaneously – all in all lowering the execution time. WindSim Accelerator can easily lower your execution time by a factor of up to 90%. Post-processing takes place in WindSim 11 or WindSim 12.

What are customers saying?
“Previously we were using different third-party programs and sources to gather and prepare roughness and height data. This is a timeconsuming process that could take up to half a working day. With WindSim Accelerator, this can be as quick as 30 minutes for an experienced user when the available Windsim sources are of sufficient accuracy for the calculation”

“The pre-processing module in WindSim Accelerator has improved
the efficiency of our workflow. Easy access to high-quality data has reduced both the project execution time and the room for errors, as well as making it easier to introduce our methodology to new employees.”
