These movies are intended to act as teaching tools as well as to illustrate the power of openWind.
Simple Demo 1
This is the first part of the tutorial.
Simple Demo 2
This is the second part of the tutorial in which we allow one site to use two met masts depending on which met mast each turbine is closer to.
Gridded Layout Tool
This tool is intended to help with large gridded turbine layouts offshore or in flat terrain. (Enterprise feature)
Colour By Vector Field Value
This short video shows how to colour vector layer objects according to their attribute values. (Enterprise feature).
Export To WAsP
This video shows how to convert land-cover images to roughness length grids. Also, how to manipulate terrain and create contours. Once you have done all this you can export to WAsP .map format. (Shows mostly community version functionality with exception of cropping tool which is limited to Enterprise version).
Rasterising Constraints
As we add more and more vector-based environmental constraints to our site, the optimisation process can start to slow down considerably, especially when trying to place hundreds of turbines. This short video shows a way to compress all the geometry tests into one raster layer, allowing rapid optimisation of a site with 300 turbines in this case.
Optimiser For Cost Of Energy
This video shows the cost of energy optimiser in action. (Enterprise Feature)
