CHECKWIND is an integrated wind calculation package for determining all site-specific wind load parameters within seconds to AS 4055-2012/2021, AS/NZS 1170.2-2011/2021, ASCE 7-10/16/22 (USA), CSA S37-18 (Canada), EN 1991 (Europe), EN 40 (Europe), IS 875 (India), AASHTO LRFD LTS-1, NSCP 2015 (Philippines), TIA-222-H and TIA-222-I utilising our groundbreaking Google Maps integration.

Advanced Features of CHECKWIND:

1. Wind Resource Assessment

• Long-term Wind Data Analysis: Merging on-site measurements with reanalysis datasets (e.g., ERA5, MERRA-2) for long-term wind assessments.
• Wind Flow Modeling: Accurate terrain and obstacle modeling to predict wind behavior at various heights and locations.
• Vertical Profiles: Provides wind speed and direction data at different elevations, which is crucial for tall structures or turbine placement.

2. Energy Yield Estimation

• Annual Energy Production (AEP): Precise calculation of the expected energy yield for wind turbines.
• Loss Analysis: Incorporates wake effects, turbulence, and other losses to refine energy output predictions.
• Turbulence Intensity Mapping: Identifies areas prone to high turbulence, helping in optimal turbine placement.

3. Site Suitability Studies

• Extreme Wind Speed Analysis: Evaluates maximum wind speeds for structural resilience and turbine survival.
• Wind Shear and Roughness Analysis: Studies variations in wind speed with height, impacted by terrain or vegetation.
• Wake Effects Modeling: Simulates downstream wind disturbances caused by turbines or buildings.

4. CFD Integration

• High-Resolution Flow Simulations: Uses Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for detailed analysis of wind interactions with complex terrains or structures.
• Building Aerodynamics: Evaluates wind forces on architectural designs, reducing the risk of wind-related issues like vortex shedding.

5. Environmental Impact Assessment

• Noise Propagation Studies: Models wind turbine noise distribution and its impact on nearby communities.
• Shadow Flicker Analysis: Calculates shadow impact of turbine blades based on wind and sun positions.
• Dust and Pollutant Dispersion: Studies how wind transports particulates or pollutants in industrial or urban settings.

6. GIS and Data Visualization

• Map Integration: Combines wind data with GIS maps to visualize wind patterns, resource potential, and site features.
• Heatmaps: Displays wind speed, turbulence, or other parameters across the project area.
• 3D Visualization: Helps stakeholders better understand wind behavior in complex terrains.

7. Compliance and Standards

• International Standards: Ensures analysis aligns with industry standards like IEC 61400 (for wind turbines) and ASCE 7 (for structural wind loads).
• Regulatory Reports: Generates detailed reports for regulatory submissions, including wind loads, resource assessments, and environmental impacts.

8. Multi-disciplinary Applications

• Aviation: Studies wind shear and turbulence near airports for flight safety.
• Transportation: Evaluates wind effects on bridges, highways, and railway infrastructure.
• Agriculture: Assesses wind conditions for crop protection and greenhouse design.

9. Customizable and Scalable

• Modular Architecture: Allows users to tailor the software based on specific project needs (e.g., adding CFD modules or integrating third-party datasets).
• Scalability: Capable of handling projects ranging from small urban studies to large-scale wind farms.
