Category:Existing Turbines: Difference between revisions

Import of existing turbines in a WindPRO project is a strong and convenient feature that allows the user to validate input and results from a number of the models used within WindPRO. Typically, such data can be directly used in environmental calculations, such as the WindPRO modules covering noise, photomontage and shadow calculations. In the case that the database also contains energy production data, the data is a valuable resource for calibration of the associated wind model. In order to utilize data from existing turbines in WindPRO, a turbine database needs to fulfill the following minimum requirements:

1. Positions 2. Turbine Type: Manufacturer and model 3. Rated power 4. Rotor diameter 5. Hub height 6. Manufacturer 7. (Monthly production data)

The #1 - #6 are required for the general application of the database within WindPRO, while the #7 is needed in relation to energy yield estimations.
