The Sopcawind project aims at developing a new service
achieved through the development of a software tool for
optimal wind farm design based on a large and
heterogeneous set of digitalised data containing information
from different fields (wind climate, geography, environment,
archaeology and land ownership), that will be treated,
validated, standardised and converted to this end.
The installation of wind farms has grown sharply in
recent years, and is expected to continue this increasing
trend due to the Governments' concern with the global
climate change and environmental awareness.
Sopcawind optimizes the location of windfarms by
considering several criteria such as wind power, local
environment characteristics, potential interference on
communication systems, visual impact or the existence of
archaeological sites.
Two main services will be developed during the project::
• The Sopcawind Data Pool for consulting processed
data stored in the system and• The Sopcawind Tool for windfarm optimization.
