The requirements for wind energy planning are increasing—especially in scenarios involving high-density wind farms and complex topographical sites. With the new version wake2e 3.12, we have further refined our proven planning tool to provide you with an even more reliable and efficient decision-making foundation.
Technical Highlights
- Full IEC 61400-1 Compliance: Enhanced output and assessment of all relevant parameters according to international standards—for sites where simplified procedures reach their limits.
- Advanced Risk Management: Automated assessment of maximum wake-induced turbulence intensity (image009.png for turbine spacings below 2.3 D.
- Precise Recirculation Analysis: Sector-specific identification of hazardous flow separation (ranging from "no risk" to "high risk") to proactively prevent rotor blade damage.
- Robust Load Safeguarding: Moving beyond generic, conservative assumptions across the entire operating range, wake2e 3.12 precisely extends the assessment scope where technically necessary. The system provides a sound basis for optimizing required curtailment in close coordination with turbine manufacturers.
Added Value for Planners and Investors
Enhanced Planning Certainty: We have complemented our proven calculation methodology with an increased depth of validation. With version 3.12, you achieve a higher level of planning security that fully meets the growing demands of modern wind farm projects.
Efficiency Through Solid Data: High-precision analysis of load situations delivers immediate, standard-compliant results. This creates transparency in communication with manufacturers and significantly shortens the coordination processes for your projects.
We hope you like the new version of wake2e and look forward to your feedback.
