Meteodyn WT 6.9.1 is a specialized computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software engineered specifically for wind resource assessment and wind turbine micrositing in complex terrain. Unlike simpler linear or WAsP-like models, Meteodyn WT solves the Navier-Stokes equations to simulate how wind interacts with hills, valleys, forests, and built environments at a very high spatial resolution. This allows wind energy developers and consultants to predict local wind speed-ups, turbulence, and flow distortions with greater accuracy, leading to optimal turbine placement, more reliable energy yield predictions, and reduced financial uncertainty for wind farm projects in challenging sites.

 Core Functional Capabilities of Meteodyn WT 6.9.1

• High-Resolution CFD Wind Flow Modeling
  Simulate the physical behavior of wind over real-world topography. The software uses an advanced CFD solver with a specific turbulence model (k-l) tailored for atmospheric flow to calculate 3D wind fields, accounting for effects like speed-up over ridges, flow separation behind obstacles, and channeling in valleys.

• Complex Terrain & Roughness Handling
  Model sites with extreme topographic and land cover variations. Import high-resolution digital terrain models (DTM) and assign different surface roughness values (e.g., forest, grass, water) to accurately represent the site's impact on wind flow and turbulence intensity.

• Turbine Micrositing & Wake Effect Integration
  Optimize the wind farm layout. Place virtual turbines within the simulated wind field to evaluate their individual energy production. The software can integrate internal or external wake models (like PARK or Fuga) to account for energy losses due to turbine-to-turbine interactions.

• Wind Resource Grid & Energy Yield Calculation
  Generate detailed wind resource maps and production estimates. Produce maps of mean wind speed, turbulence intensity, and wind rose at hub height. Combine these with turbine power curves to calculate the gross and net Annual Energy Production (AEP) for the entire wind farm.

 The Meteodyn WT Advantage in Complex Sites

For wind projects on flat, homogeneous terrain, simple models may suffice. However, for the majority of sites with real-world complexity—such as mountainous regions, coastal cliffs, or forested areas—the accuracy of traditional models breaks down. Meteodyn WT 6.9.1 is designed to excel precisely in these challenging environments. By using physics-based CFD, it provides a more realistic representation of local wind conditions, which is critical for avoiding underperforming turbines, reducing structural loads, and securing project financing. For developers targeting high-yield sites with complex topography, Meteodyn WT is the essential engineering tool for de-risking investments and maximizing energy output.
