Natural Power's free web based service provides an estimation of wind flow complexity on potential wind farm sites
(27/12/2010)

As potential development sites with simple, flat terrain become fewer and fewer, more and more projects are built in, or near, forests and complex terrain. It is these complex flow sites that are often associated with harsh wind conditions likely to affect wind turbine performance. For example, complex terrain can induce large values of turbulence and high loads on wind turbine blades. As a result, there are increasing concerns about under-per... [more]
