Clanker Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I'm currently designing a very big park, and I want to place lots of turbines quickly. I also want to tweak and adjust the layout by moving/rotating whole arrays to optimise production. But I find WAsP a bit intimidating to work with in this issue. As far as I know, there are two ways to place turbines. By entering coordinates, or by ctrl-dragging. And I can't seem to mark and ctrl-drag several turbines at once. For a software with this calculation potential, is there no easier way to "design" the layout? What method are you guys using to quickly place multiple arrays in correct alignment? Link to comment
Clanker Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 For anyone wondering the same thing. I found a more efficient way by creating the layout externally in QGIS. There I made a grid of points in a vector layer on my map which can be easily rotated and manipulated. I then exported the coordinates, then copying and pasting into WAsP using the "insert sites from the clipboard" feature from the right click menu in a wind farm. Link to comment
Niels Gylling Mortensen Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Dear all,We do have a simple MS Excel tool that will help you make different types of layouts. I will make it available on the web site www.wasp.dk asap. -- Niels, WAsP support Link to comment
Morten Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 The Excel-based layout tool is now awailable athttp://www.wasp.dk/dataandtools#wasp-tools__wind-farm-layout-tool Link to comment
kedx3mmn Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Can we export the excel as it is? How do you decide how many turbines to install and where exactly to install them. I keep moving them manually. And I know I am doing it wrong. Link to comment
Duncan Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 WAsP doesn't tell you how many turbines to install or where to put them. That's your job. The software will tell you how much electricity will be generated in the arrangement of turbines you have specified. Duncan. Link to comment
