Windographer | Wind Data Analytics and Visualization Solution

Analyze wind resource data quicker and easier than ever before with Windographer

Key features

Speed matters – Windographer quickly imports data from almost any format and automatically determines the data structure, identifying which columns contain speed, direction, temperature, pressure, relative humidity data, and solar radiation data.

Analyze and manage multiple datasets together – Build a single workbook to contain all of your related datasets, including met towers, remote sensing devices and long-term reference datasets. It can handle dozens of datasets and hundreds of years of data.

View multiple display windows simultaneously – Keep your eye on multiple visualization modules while you make any modification.

Keep a record of all changes made to each dataset – If you make a mistake like deleting the wrong data or executing the wrong flag rule, a multiple step undo system lets you restore your data, even days or months afterwards.

Scrollable time series graphs – A unique time series graph allows you to zoom in and out, scroll forwards or backwards in time, show or hide data columns, resample and compare side-by-side all with single clicks.

Wind roses – Create many types of wind roses, including frequency by direction, mean value of any data column by direction, total wind energy by direction, and even polar scatterplots.

Frequency histograms – Plot frequency histograms for any data column. For wind speed data columns, Windographer overlays the best-fit Weibull distribution.

New subscription model

We now offer Windographer via subscription only. This new approach means you will always have access to the latest version of software. It also frees our developers to release improvements to the software as soon as they are ready instead of holding them for the next major release. This will provide your team with the ability to continuously integrate the latest technology into your workflow.
