What is Openwind?

Openwind, developed by UL Solutions, is a cutting-edge software tool that significantly aids in the design and optimization of wind farms throughout all phases of a wind project's lifecycle, enabling the formulation of optimal turbine configurations that maximize energy production while minimizing losses and managing development expenses for improved project performance. This software allows users to strategically refine turbine placements and layouts, focusing on lowering energy costs by considering a range of factors, including energy yield, operating and maintenance costs, as well as the financial aspects of turbine and facility development. With advanced wake modeling capabilities, such as the Deep Array Wake Model (DAWM), Openwind proficiently examines the complex interactions between turbines and the atmospheric boundary layer, facilitating adjustments to wake effects based on varying turbulence intensities and stability conditions. The platform also includes a time-series energy capture analysis feature that provides detailed insights into energy generation patterns over time, which is essential for thorough project assessment and planning. By harnessing these sophisticated functionalities, Openwind equips users with the tools necessary to make well-informed choices, ultimately fostering more efficient and environmentally friendly wind energy initiatives. Furthermore, its user-friendly interface ensures that both seasoned professionals and newcomers can maximize the software's potential, enhancing collaboration and innovation within the wind energy sector.
