Planning Features

Lay-outs

Compare different design alternatives of your proposed wind farm, such as location of the turbines, turbine types, number of turbines etc.

Search and Plan by Coordinates

Search and plan with different coordinate systems in Windplanner. Support for Lat-Lon and all other local formats.

2D Map View

On the left screen in Windplanner. On this map you can see the icons of the turbines and the viewpoints. You can add different layers to this 2D map.

3D World View

View turbines in a 3D world. With global coverage of buildings, trees, terrain height, existing & proposed wind turbines.

Layer Import

Import different layers. Supported formats Shapefiles, ARCgis, statem, Xyz, Geojson.

Map Drawing Tools

No GIS layers available to link or import? Simply draw on the 2D map to explain design decisions.

Place turbine options

Place multiple turbines in line and grid.

Turbine Ex- & Importing

Ex- & Import turbine layouts to-and-from different applications (please let us know if your file format is not yet supported).

Hazard map

2D map overlay "Risicokaart", Holland-only.

Solarplanner

Request Features

Usability

New User Interface

Completely new Editor: faster, responsive, and much easier.

iPad & Android support

Use windplanner with your iPad and/or Android tablet.

Visualisation Aid

In-app support & checklist for creating realistic visuals.

3D head-up display

Turbine & viewpoint locations in 3D.

SkyDetect Masking

Neural Network trained to automatically mask panoramas (turbines are placed in front of clouds but behind objects in photos).

Manual Photo Masking

Quickly create a manual mask in case the automatic SkyDetect is insufficiently accurate.

Turbine Renumbering

Automatic & manual renumbering.

Wind mill in Windplanner

Photomontages

Create photo montages on the fly. Choose one of three options to position the turbine in the surroundings exactly where you want it to be:

SkyDetect: this is a clever algorithm that cuts out the sky from a panorama, automatically creating photomontages that fit most cases.
Manual Masking: with this tool, you can manually adjust the skyline if SkyDetect fails. And, for instance, if you want to position a turbine in front of the mountain but behind the trees.
No mask: in this option, the turbine will be placed in front of all objects.
