Windnavigator Projects Screenshot

Projects Section

The new Projects section brings RRAP’s advanced wind resource modeling directly into Windnavigator—empowering users to manage, analyze, and iterate on wind projects from a single, unified interface.

Project components are now automatically geo-located, significantly reducing the time spent searching and placing assets—so you can focus on optimizing performance, not managing data.

Layout Optimization

Design and refine turbine layouts for maximum efficiency.

Energy Yield Calculations

Run detailed energy production estimates, with or without map adjustments using met mast data.

Flexible Output Formats

Export results in a variety of formats to support downstream analysis and reporting.

Enhanced Technology Library

Access a comprehensive and flexible library of wind technology data including:

Turbine Power Curves

Easily select and apply certified turbine models in your RRAP projects—now featuring official power curves from the industry's leading wind turbine providers.

Datasets for existing turbines and wind farms

The new Neighbor Turbines RADAR feature automatically detects nearby turbines and generates layout data—crucial for accurate wake modeling—while meaningly reducing manual effort. With integrated datasets from:
  • OSM (OpenStreetMap) for turbine locations
  • TheWindPower.net for global wind farm information
  • Neighbor turbines RADAR feature for automatic detection of turbines data and layout generation

Windnavigator SolarGIS

Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) Layer Integration

Gain depper insight into solar potential with the addition of the GHI layer for hybrid project planning and site evaluation.
Windnavigator ISD Stations

Integrated Surface Database (ISD)

The platform now includes access to the Integrated Surface Database (ISD), providing high-quality meteorological data from global weather stations. This supports more accurate validation and calibration of wind resource assessments.
Windnavigator WRG Custom Elevation

Custom Elevation Model Selection for Sitewind® WRG50

Users can now specify the elevation model usen when requesting a Sitewind® WRG50 (Wind Resource Grid at 50m resolution), offering greater control and accuracy in terrain-sensitive assessments.
