Update: New Feature to Define and Edit Curtailments Depending on Wind Speed

Curtailments View

Via the new "curtailments view" you may now define and edit wind speed depending or complete cut-offs of wind turbines.

Update: New Spreadsheet Display of the Results

New structure of the interface based on different "views"

The wake2e interface is now devided into so called "views" which shall lead to a more clear and structured presentation of the results.

New wake2e version 3.3.4

With the introduction of version 3.3.4 wake2e determines the “Windzone” according to DIN EN 1991-1-4/NA and according to “DIBt 2004 Anhang B” for projects in Germany. You will find the results in the section “results → other” of the result file.

Update: New wake2e version 3.3

In the beginning of May we will release a new wake2e version (3.3). This version includes a couple of new features and it will serve as a basis for other new features which we will release in future versions.

Update: Improved map display

Context menu

There is a new conext menu available by right clicking on the map. This menu provides options to change the display properties.

Context menu in the map

Markers at the frame of the map

At the sides of the map markers will appear to indicate WT-sites which are located outside the area currently shown on the map.

Update: Better display of results on the map

More detailed display of wind turbines which are not to be considered

Two different kinds of the status “not considered” of a WT have been introduced:

not to be considered, but relevant to the results (icon with dark grey background)
not to be considered and not relevant to the results (icon with black background)

Update: Improved results presentation in wake2e

Using customised WT labels in the map

In the project settings the user may define whether the wind turbine's number ("WT 1") or its name (the "ID" column in the WT list) shall be displayed as label in the map. To do so choose "Map display" in the menu "Extended settings". After saving this change the map will be rebuilt.
This setting does not change after resetting the project, loading a new project or logging in or off.

Update: New features in wake2e

With this release we have added the following features to wake2e.

Update: External wind data in form of frequency matrices are back

In version 2.12.0-3.5 the option to provide wind data in form of frequency matrices was enabled again. The additional assessment of the topographical complexity of a WT site according to DIBt 2012 will be skipped when using this option.

Best regards
Your F2E-team

Update: Support for DIBt 2012 specification

With the announcement of the new release of the German standard for wind turbines (DIBt 2012 Richtlinie für Windenergieanlagen) a couple of changes were introduced regarding the assessment of the site suitability of a wind turbine (WT) in Germany.
