https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-ideas/wind-resource-modeling-tools-extension-for-arcgis/idi-p/931185 <P>Currently, I use OpenWind to model turbine layouts using Wind Resource Grids (data from meteorological towers + terrain + other)&nbsp;for wind farm development. Switching from&nbsp;ArcGIS to OpenWind to create constraints features&nbsp;and be able to visualize what available land is left for modeling&nbsp;takes long time and requires many&nbsp;spatial transformation work too. I envision one day ArcGIS can handle wind resource grids and be able to model and run&nbsp;different&nbsp;scenarions through an extension or database model. Is ESRI working on something like this for renewable industry? &nbsp;&nbsp;</P><!-- content transformation source ID: 08730000000c0Qn --> Thu, 27 Oct 2022 19:57:43 GMT WilsonNavarrete 2022-10-27T19:57:43Z https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-ideas/wind-resource-modeling-tools-extension-for-arcgis/idi-p/931185 <P>Currently, I use OpenWind to model turbine layouts using Wind Resource Grids (data from meteorological towers + terrain + other)&nbsp;for wind farm development.
