Wind Farm Analysis

Point3Data can produce accurate surface and terrain models for virtually any wind farm project. This enables the detailed analysis of many aspects pertaining to Environmental Impact Assessments to be completed quickly, efficiently and accurately, including:

  • Viewshed analysis
  • Identification of zones of interference (lines of sight, microwave / RF ghosting)
  • Sound propagation / noise abatement modeling
  • Shadow impact
  • Bird migration and habitat impact
  • Flicker simulation
  • Vegetation analysis
  • Earthwork and vegetation removal quantification

    • In addition, Point3Data can analyze high-accuracy surface and elevation models and prepare custom data packages specifically for turbine micro-siting. This includes analysis of wind shear caused by forested areas as well as a study of predictive wind currents and turbulence over the surface roughness of the local terrain.

    When used in combination with our power line corridor analysis services, we can provide input to comprehensive grid management analysis including IEC-compliant load-shedding & storage schemes and electromechanical equipment upgrades that are often part of the larger picture when integrating wind farms into the bulk power system.
