WAsP
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WAsP (Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program) is a PC program for predicting wind climates, wind resources, and power productions from wind turbines and wind farms. The predictions are based on wind data measured at stations in the same region. The program includes a complex terrain flow model, a roughness change model, and a model for sheltering obstacles. WAsP is developed and distributed by the Wind Energy Department at Risø DTU, Denmark.
WAsP is used for:
- Wind farm production
- Wind farm efficiency
- Micro-siting of wind turbines
- Power production calculations
- Wind resource mapping
- Wind climate estimation
- Wind atlas generation
- Wind data analysis
