WindScape

WindScapeTM is a world-leading atmospheric model used to locate wind energy sites rapidly and cost-effectively. It was originally developed by scientists within the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) before privatization of Windlab.

WindScapeTM is used to identify areas or specific locations suitable for wind farm development. In short, it helps us get the right spot for wind power.

Wind Maps

WindScapeTM output includes high resolution maps of mean annual wind speed and annual energy yield. These maps can be combined, within a GIS environment, with maps of transmission lines and other quantities to facilitate the wind prospecting process.

Point Statistics

At any point within the area of interest, it is possible to extract a time-series of wind speed and direction. This allows the generation of statistical tools such as wind roses, probability distributions and monthly averages. It also allows the validation of the model with actual data collected for the same site for the same year.
