What is new in WAsP 12?

WAsP 12 contains several new features and significant improvements. The most important new features are:

• Improved stability model accounts for local atmospheric stability conditions anywhere in the world
• Forest displacement height assessed in wind flow calculations and applied in wind climate calculations
• Automatic import of Generalised Wind Climate files from the Global Wind Atlas
• New geostrophic wind shear model takes into account large-scale horizontal temperature gradients
• Automatic calculation of site-specific air density for each wind turbine and automatic correction of power curves to estimated air density
• PARK2 wake model

   

Other improvements in WAsP 12 are:

• Capacity Factor results
• Separate treatment of data layers in vector maps
• Wake-reduced mean wind speed
• Map files in the Geography Markup Language
