| What size turbine would I need for my home?
Homes use approximately 9,400 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per
year (about 780 kWh per month). Depending upon the average wind speed
in the area, a wind turbine rated in the range of 5 to 15 kilowatts would
be required to make a significant contribution to meet this demand

WindFarmer: The Wind Farm Design Software |
| GH WindFarmer, the wind farm design software, is used by the
world's major developers, consultancies, owners, operators
and manufacturers for projects of all sizes and at locations
both onshore and offshore. It combines all aspects of data
processing, wind farm assessment and wind farm layout into
one integrated easy-to-use program making fast and accurate
calculations.
GH WindFarmer is technically advanced and powerful. It
enables the user to automatically and efficiently optimise
the wind farm layout for maximum energy yield, whilst meeting
environmental, technical and construction |

| WindTurbo |
WindTurbo is a program for designing new wind turbines or analyzing
existing ones. The software is based on one dimensional
blade element momentum theory. This method can be carried
out using a spreadsheet of lift and drag curves for the
chosen aerofoil. The software allows designers to insert
different aerofoils and setup initial angle of blades. WindTurbo
enables manufacturers to test new wind turbine on the virtual
environment and pick the best ones for further development.
By this way is speed up and improved the design process

| RETScreen
|
The RETScreen Clean Energy Project Analysis Software is a unique decision
support tool developed with the contribution of numerous
experts from government, industry, and academia. The software,
provided free-of-charge, can be used worldwide to evaluate
the energy production and savings, costs, emission reductions,
financial viability and risk for various types of Renewable-energy
and Energy-efficient Technologies (RETs). The software (available
in multiple languages) also includes product, project, hydrology
and climate databases, a detailed online user manual, and
a case study based college/university-level training course,
including an engineering e-textbook.

| LM
Blades - Integrated calculations |
| LM Blades supports the integrated calculation of aerodynamics, structure,
loads and the control system, all in one single tool. This
software suite performs much faster and provides a more precise
calculation of everything from geometry to finite element
analysis. The software optimises the blades in relation to
the wind turbine as a whole.
Specially developed
In LM Blades, all information is collected in a single database,
and the different calculation modules can communicate with
each other. This translates into a consistent dataflow:
- greater precision and more refined calculations
- greater clarity (tracking the design process)
- faster calculations
