WakeMap™

The wind landscape is changing. So should your wind map.

WakeMap™: Revolutionizing Wind Resource and Wake Modelling

The Challenge: Wind farm wakes are much longer than previously thought—extending up to 50 km or more under specific atmospheric conditions. As a result, neighboring wind farms are competing for a limited wind resource, losing millions in revenue. Conventional wind maps and wake models fall short, failing to account for these long wakes in today’s increasingly crowded landscape.

The Solution: WakeMap™ is a GPU-powered, high-resolution wind resource modeling tool that sets a new industry standard. Built on the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, it incorporates wind farm parameterization to accurately account for wake effects—both from existing wind farms and those not yet constructed.

Why WakeMap™?

  1. Comprehensive Analysis: Models long wakes up to 50 km and beyond, both onshore and offshore, under real-world conditions.

  2. High-Resolution Precision: Fully customizable runs with resolutions as fine as 700m, tailored to your specific needs.

  3. Validated Insights: Extensively tested against wind farm data, so you can trust the results.

  4. Future-Proof Decision-Making: Identify optimal locations for new wind farms and quantify wake impacts on annual energy production (P50).

 

How WakeMap™ Helps

  1. Minimize "wind theft" by understanding and mitigating long wake impacts.

  2. Optimize wind farm placement for maximum revenue.

  3. Future-proof your investments in an increasingly competitive market.

Whether you’re planning your next wind farm or assessing existing operations, WakeMap™ gives you the data-driven insights needed to succeed.
