MODEL
The MODEL module is a collection of tools used for wind flow models to calculate vertical and hori-
zontal extrapolations on a site. The core models supported are the WAsP and WAsP-CFD models.
The MODEL tools are often used in combination with other modules like PARK, MCP and SITE
COMPLIANCE.

STATGEN – Creation of wind statistics (WAsP or WAsP-CFD):


Create wind statistics (Wind Atlas) as data input for a resource map or different PARK calculations. A
wind statistic contains information about wind data, roughness, elevation and possibly local obstacles
and displacements heights..

WAsP Interface – Calculation of AEP (Annual Energy Production) (WAsP or WAsP-CFD):


7
The calculation can be made for a single point using a range of wind turbine types and hub heights to
create a basis for choosing the right turbine type for the site. For this the same terrain input is used
as above with the addition of a wind statistics.

RESOURCE – Calculation of wind resource map (WAsP or WAsP-CFD):


A resource map can be presented on the background map and used as wind model for a PARK calcula-
tion or for energy optimization of the wind farm layout the OPTIMIZE module. An irregular shaped
area for the map can be defined with a WTG area object. A terrain description and (multiple) wind
statistics can be used to calculate a wind resource map.

ATLAS – Calculation with ATLAS model:


ATLAS is a simple model suitable for non-complex terrain. The ATLAS model is typically used for
small-scale projects. ATLAS can either be calculated for a single turbine or used as input for a PARK
calculation.

MCP
The MCP (Measure-Correlate-Predict) module is for long-term correction of measured wind data on site and based on
the correlation with long-term reference data. The module includes slicing and dicing, automatic time offset, comparison
graphs and an uncertainty calculation.

The output from an MCP analysis is a wind statistic generated with WAsP or a time series of long term corrected wind data.
This can be used directly in a PARK calculation or for a wind resource map calculation. A very strong feature of the MCP
module is the graphical comparison of different MCP setups, and the comparison between local measurements and concur-
rent predictions based on long term reference and calculated transfer function from any of the methods included in the
module.

PA R K
The PARK module is a very flexible tool for calculating the AEP of one or more wind farms. WTGs can be entered as both
existing and new WTGs and treated separately in the printout, while all are included in the calculation. Even the loss of
energy at existing WTGs caused by the new WTGs is calculated automatically in one process, if required.

The PARK module is capable of performing both time-varying or wind statistics-based calculations.

With the windPRO layer structure, several different layouts can quickly be tested against each other. The PARK module
contains multiple wake loss models and facilities for advanced turbulence, RIX calculations and time-varying curtailments .

The PARK module includes reports with 24-12 tables and duration curves based on time series with wind variations.

The calculated time varying production for each turbine calculated in PARK, can later be used for detailed wake and perfor-
mance analyses with the PERFORMANCE CHECK module.
