What's new in WAsP 10?

The main new feature in WAsP 10 is the ability to view your project in Google Earth. Most of the information you can display in a spatial view can be shown in Google Earth, and you can maintain a synchronised display: changes in your project will be automatically reflected in Google Earth. The following data can be shown in Google Earth:

• Roughness change lines
• Non-attribute lines
• Turbine positions and 3D models
• Met. mast positions and 3D models
• Reference site positions and 3D models
• Wind and AEP roses etc.
• Resource grid data
• Turbine bubble info

Other changes include the following:

• Importing a spatial image (background map) has been greatly simplified
• Air density is now a project parameter, and affects all power density values
• Resource grid calculation masks can be derived from elevation limits and the vector map
• Reference sites can be quickly inserted to match existing turbine sites
• Distance circles (size n rotor diameters) around turbines can be shown in the spatial view
• Several new scripts are added, including 'vertical slice'
• Sample data can be installed to anywhere you like
• Spatial images can be exported to file with accompanying scaling information
• Updated default parameter set
• Stability routine corrected

WAsP 10 also contains a number of new and updated tools:

• A new Gaussian hill generator tool
• A new Geo-projection utility tool
• A new Lib Interpolator tool
• A new Weibull Explorer tool
