Description

OpenWindPower, a software developed by Bentley Systems, specializes in the analysis of offshore wind turbines and supports both fixed foundation and floating platform initiatives. This innovative tool allows users to examine various design options, forecast operational performance, and create safe, cost-efficient structures for offshore wind farms. For projects with fixed foundations, OpenWindPower delivers extensive analysis and design features tailored to offshore wind turbine foundation structures, effectively addressing the impacts of waves, winds, and mechanical loads from turbines to evaluate both fatigue and extreme conditions on the substructure and the nonlinear soil foundation. In the case of floating platform projects, the software provides sophisticated modeling features that enable the creation of intricate 3D hydrodynamic and structural models, which endure the forces from waves, currents, winds, and mechanical turbine loads. Additionally, this capability allows for time-domain simulations that accurately calculate sea pressures and inertial forces, ensuring a comprehensive structural analysis for engineers working in the offshore wind sector. The tools provided by OpenWindPower ultimately enhance the design process, allowing for more resilient and efficient offshore wind energy solutions.

Description

WAsP, which stands for Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program, serves as the leading software in the industry for evaluating wind resources, determining suitable sites, and calculating energy outputs for wind turbines and farms. Created by DTU Wind and Energy Systems, it boasts a distinguished history of more than 35 years and is widely acknowledged by financial institutions and regulatory bodies around the globe. This software is employed internationally across different types of landscapes, offering a comprehensive suite of models and tools that support every phase of the process, from analyzing wind data to assessing sites and estimating energy yields. Common uses of WAsP include forecasting energy production for both individual turbines and entire wind farms, evaluating efficiency and wake losses in wind farms, mapping wind resources and turbulence, and strategically siting turbines and farms. Additionally, WAsP features multiple models that effectively portray wind climate and flow dynamics over various terrains, including a straightforward linear wind flow model that is ideal for flat to moderately complex landscapes, along with easy access to the advanced WAsP CFD wind flow model, which enhances its versatility and accuracy in diverse applications. Ultimately, WAsP continues to be an indispensable tool for professionals in the renewable energy sector.
