Wind. It means the world to us.™

SiteHunt® Advanced analysis adds certainty to your business case Reduce your time to market Getting your wind project up and operating as quickly as possible is fundamental to its long-term success. One of the first and most important steps is to identify and secure the most suitable location for your wind power plant as early as possible, thereby providing a solid foundation for your business case. This is where SiteHunt® comes in. SiteHunt® is an advanced analytical tool that examines a broad spectrum of wind and weather data to evaluate potential sites for the optimum conditions for your project....

Unleash the global potential of wind power

More data, more analysis, less risk Siting is of crucial importance in the total cost of energy over the full operating lifecycle of a wind power plant. Siting factors into calculating the overall costs of harvesting the wind, including wear and tear on the turbines, and achieving the highest possible return on your investment. SiteHunt® can give unique insight into critical meteorological parameters relating to operating costs, ensuring that you benefit from a holistic cost-of-energy approach that increases your business case certainty. Reducing time to market SiteHunt,® a desk-based analysis...

Your partner in planning Modeling local topographical conditions The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software that we use for SiteHunt® was originally developed in the aerospace industry to analyze airflow around aircraft. Once a suitable site location has been chosen, our SiteDesign® service allows you to assess and configure the site to maximize the output and value. CFD employs a supercomputer to accurately simulate interactions between turbulent flow and adjacent surfaces. This allows our engineers to identify potential problem-areas on a project site. SiteDesign® helps identify the most...

+35,000 SiteHunt® data relating to operating conditions in all environments utilizes long-term observations from more than 35,000 meteorological stations across the world.
