Description

OpenWindPower, a software developed by Bentley Systems, specializes in the analysis of offshore wind turbines and supports both fixed foundation and floating platform initiatives. This innovative tool allows users to examine various design options, forecast operational performance, and create safe, cost-efficient structures for offshore wind farms. For projects with fixed foundations, OpenWindPower delivers extensive analysis and design features tailored to offshore wind turbine foundation structures, effectively addressing the impacts of waves, winds, and mechanical loads from turbines to evaluate both fatigue and extreme conditions on the substructure and the nonlinear soil foundation. In the case of floating platform projects, the software provides sophisticated modeling features that enable the creation of intricate 3D hydrodynamic and structural models, which endure the forces from waves, currents, winds, and mechanical turbine loads. Additionally, this capability allows for time-domain simulations that accurately calculate sea pressures and inertial forces, ensuring a comprehensive structural analysis for engineers working in the offshore wind sector. The tools provided by OpenWindPower ultimately enhance the design process, allowing for more resilient and efficient offshore wind energy solutions.

Description

Openwind, created by UL Solutions, is an innovative software designed for wind farm design and optimization that plays a crucial role in every stage of a wind project's development, helping to devise ideal turbine arrangements that enhance energy output while reducing losses and managing development costs effectively for overall project efficiency. This software empowers users to strategically optimize turbine placements and layouts to drive down energy costs by taking into account various elements such as energy generation, operational and maintenance expenses, and the financial implications of turbine and plant development. Openwind features state-of-the-art wake models, such as the Deep Array Wake Model (DAWM), which effectively analyzes the dynamic interplay between turbines and the atmospheric boundary layer, enabling adjustments to wakes based on varying turbulence intensity and stability conditions. Additionally, the platform provides time-series energy capture analysis that offers granular insights into energy production patterns over time, ensuring comprehensive project evaluation and planning. By leveraging these advanced capabilities, Openwind supports users in making informed decisions that ultimately lead to more efficient and sustainable wind energy projects.
