WAsP – the Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program

Welcome to WAsP!

What is WAsP?

WAsP is a PC program for predicting wind climates, wind resources and power productions from wind turbines and wind farms. The predictions are based on wind data measured at stations in the same region. The program includes a complex terrain flow model, a roughness change model and a model for sheltering obstacles.

WAsP has become the wind power industry-standard PC-software for wind resource assessment and siting of wind turbines and wind farms.There are currently more than 3900 users in over 110 countries and territories, who use WAsP for all steps from analysis of wind and terrain effects to estimation of wind farm production.

WAsP is developed and distributed by DTU Wind Energy, a department of DTU, Denmark (former Wind Energy Division of Risø DTU).

Read more about what WAsP can do for you to see the details. You may also download a demo version of WAsP. WAsP will run on a PC with Windows 2000, XP, Vista or 7, see the hardware and software requirements.
