Operations-Menu

• Check Legality - this function provides a quick check to see if a layout is obeying any constraints and that there are WRGs covering the turbine locations. It won’t spot problems with time series energy capture but should get almost everything else.
• Energy Capture - perform an energy capture using the current energy capture settings
• Optimise Turbine Positions - start optimising the turbine positions (see Optimisation ).
• Enable Cost of Energy
• Calculate ZVI (Zone of Visual Impact )- create one or multiple rasters indicating the visual impact of the turbines in the workbook.
• Calculate Noise - create a raster of noise levels due to the turbines in the workbook (see Noise Model ).
• Calculate Shadow Flicker (commercial version only, not open-source) - create a raster showing those areas where shadow flicker may be an issue (see Shadow Flicker ).
• Create WSM – creates wind sector management strategy. This functionality still needs more work. We welcome feedback on this feature.
• Remove Wake Effects from Met Masts ( Remove Wake Effects ).
• Operation Scripter - activate Openwind scripting dialog ( Scripting Tool ).
