To maximise the yield from your wind generation project, a number of issues have to be calculated and documented:
- Visual impact of the site,
- Energy generation,
- How is the site used optimally in respect of energy yields versus wind resources,
- Environmental restrictions,
- Grid connection: both capacity and cost.
Local authorities will normally ask you to submit an environmental impact assessment report, in which the impacts of noise, flickering and zones of visual influence have to be documented as well as visualisations for the project as photomontages or virtual reality presentations.
You will also want to prepare a feasibility study, including detailed specifications of the investments, financing, operating income, cash flows and balance sheets. This information is closely linked to the technical design of your project.
Mint Energy has invested in industry standard software that can deal efficiently, and accurately with all of these considerations. WindPro is capable of all the required calculations and documentation and has been in use for more than 20 years. It is the most comprehensive and user-friendly software package available.
