Concept

Scenarios allow you to test many wind farm designs within one WindFarmer: Analyst workbook, applying the same map data, wind analysis and flow calculations to all scenarios.

A scenario uniquely contains the following:

• Wind farms
• Turbines
• Inclusion regions
• Exclusion regions
• Energy settings
• Net energy settings
• Energy results
• Net energy results

Watch our site setup video for an overview of how you can define a layout and utilise scenarios.

The scenario manager

The scenario manager is where you can edit the scenario list and control which scenario you are currently editing. It is located in the top right hand corner of the application.

The button is labelled with the name of the scenario currently being edited and you are able to change scenario from any task within WindFarmer: Analyst.
