Introduction to Wind Site Data Management

Wind Site Data Management can be used to map wind electricity generation sites in 2D and 3D, edit data, view site maps in the field and office, and view asset reports.

Wind sites, also known as wind farms, are locations where groups of wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind to electricity and transmit it to the electrical grid. Wind sites can be located on shore or offshore. Large wind sites can span several hundred acres and contain over one hundred turbines. These sites also contain electric equipment and wiring, natural features, and infrastructure such as roads, fences, and gates.

The number and size of on shore and offshore wind sites are increasing as the use of sustainable energy grows. As a result, wind site operators want to maximize energy production and reduce operating costs. To achieve these goals, operators need to know what is on their site, where it is, and the condition of each asset. The easiest way for site operators to understand and interact with this information is using a map. Beyond turbines, operators also need to know about environmental features, access controls, and other site infrastructure. The Wind Site Data Management solution creates and maintains an authoritative wind site map for operators that is easy-to-use, facilitates data management, provides a collaborative environment for distributed staff, and supports mobile field workers.
