WindSim has initiated a strategic partnership with AXYS Technologies Inc. aimed at helping wind developers design more profitable offshore wind farms.
WindSim's wind farm design software will be bundled with every sale of the recently launched AXYS WindSentinel offshore wind resource assessment buoy. The complementary technologies provide a combination of new offshore wind data collection techniques with proven wind farm design and modeling tools.
The WindSentinel is an advanced offshore wind resource assessment buoy capable of measuring wind at hub height and beyond by using a next-generation laser wind sensor.
WindSim currently employs computational fluid dynamics techniques to identify and wake-effect models and other atmospheric forces to optimize turbine placement. The company now confirms that expanded offshore-specific functionality is under way.
