Renewable energy consulting company AWS Truewind, LLC, has launched its windNavigator Compass, which is an Internet-based, intuitive tool that provides instantaneous access to the precise and comprehensive renewable resource data of the company. The product integrates with the company’s windNavigator, a wind resource analysis and prospecting application, to considerably accelerate wind project management and site qualification efforts.
To overcome the challenges encountered during wind prospecting, such as inaccurate project prioritization, outdated data from the Internet, unqualified business leads, and dependence on manual computations of wind rose and wind speed distribution, windNavigator Compass provides professional wind developers with science-based, accurate intelligence for facilitating better project decisions. Subscribers of windNavigator Compass can instantaneously access information on location speed, latitude and longitude, display height, Weibull A & k factors, elevation, roughness, wind rose, monthly speed distribution and mean power density.
AWS Truewind’s product manager Bryon Phelps commented that the product integrates in-depth site characteristics with the company’s windTrends dataset.
Subscribers of windNavigator Compass can gain access to essential characteristics such as monthly speed direction and current wind direction to find out the potential for development of a particular site. Furthermore, windNavigator Compass subscribers can carry out additional analyses using GIS data or advanced reports.
AWS Truewind’s sales and marketing director Amber Trendell stated that the company has partnered with over 200 utilities, government institutions and financiers on renewable energy projects.
windNavigator Compass is an ideal product for small wind installers, utilities, utility-scale developers, government agencies, manufacturers, non-profit, academic and advocacy groups.
