Wind farm layout and design

OCC uses wind data, including direction, magnitude and variability in conjunction with power performance curves from the turbine manufacturers to produce wind farm layouts. 

Power Production Estimates are calculated and the layouts are optimized to maximize the calculated power production.  The layouts take into exclusionary zones identified in previous project tasks. 

OCC is careful to maintain our client’s goals, whether the project layout is a single turbine or small string of turbines meant to create a positive visual image for local stakeholders or minimize wake and transmission losses and maximize the power production in a large grid away.
