windPRO 4.2 is the industry-standard software suite for the planning, design, and optimization of wind energy projects. This powerful GIS-based platform integrates all critical aspects of wind farm development into a single, coherent workflow. Professionals use windPRO to perform accurate energy yield calculations (AEP), conduct detailed environmental impact assessments, optimize turbine layouts, and create bankable project documentation. From initial site screening to final design, windPRO 4.2 provides the robust tools needed to mitigate risk and maximize the financial viability of onshore and offshore wind projects.

 Core Functional Modules of windPRO 4.2

• ENERGY: Park & Site
  Calculate the energy production of single turbines or entire wind farms. This module uses advanced wake models and long-term meteorological data (MCP) to predict the Annual Energy Production (AEP) with high accuracy, forming the financial backbone of any project.

• NOISE
  Model and map noise emissions from wind turbines to ensure compliance with local regulations. The software calculates noise levels at receiver points and generates detailed contour maps and reports, which are crucial for the permitting process and community relations.

• SHADOW
  Analyze and visualize shadow flicker from wind turbine rotors. This tool helps in planning to minimize impact on nearby residences, which is a key requirement for obtaining planning permission in many regions.

• PROSPECTS & ECONOMICS
  Evaluate the financial feasibility of wind projects. Integrate energy yield results with cost assumptions, financing terms, and electricity prices to calculate key metrics like Net Present Value (NPV), Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), and internal rate of return (IRR).
