AT A GLANCE

Our client operates the region’s largest wind farm. Choosing positions for new turbines relied on expert-led empirical research because complex multi-parameter calculations could not run in real time. Computools built a system that combines topology, weather, and device data with turbine characteristics, predicts generation output, and lets engineers test what-if scenarios for location and direction. Decision time for new turbine installation dropped by 50%.

THE CLIENT

The client operates the region’s largest wind farm, with 600 MW of installed capacity. The company uses digital tools to improve turbine placement decisions, generation planning, and operational performance across different terrain conditions.

Projects of this type require renewable energy software development services that reflect how generation assets, weather conditions, terrain, and field data affect long-term energy output.

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Placing generating equipment well depends on terrain, weather, and each turbine’s characteristics. The existing approach relied on complex multi-parameter algorithms and expert-led empirical research, and it could not calculate results in real time.

The client needed a system that could combine topological, weather, and device data, process turbine characteristics, and support faster engineering decisions for new turbine installation. Data engineering was central to the challenge because the system had to turn fragmented operational inputs into a reliable calculation flow.

SOLUTION SUMMARY

Computools delivered a system that helps the client’s engineers choose turbine positions for optimal generation. It combines topological, weather and device data with turbine characteristics, predicts generation output, and supports what-if analysis of locations and direction.

The platform was adapted to different terrains and maintained as new data came in. Computools turned complex engineering calculations into a practical decision-support tool for wind farm planning.

IMPACT

The system gave the client a faster and more consistent way to plan new turbine installation across different terrain conditions.

  • New turbine installation decisions now take 50% less time.
  • The system reached 90% accuracy in suggesting optimal turbine locations.
  • The solution works across diverse terrains.
  • Engineers can compare location and direction scenarios before installation.
  • The client received a reliable tool for what-if performance optimization.

STORY IN DEPTH

Background

The client needed to improve how engineers planned new turbine placement across different terrain conditions. Each location decision depended on many variables, including topology, weather, device data and turbine characteristics. Without real-time calculations, the team had to rely on expert-led empirical research, which slowed down planning and made scenario comparison difficult.

Approach to solution

Computools started with consultations involving subject matter experts and domain specialists. The team researched device API capabilities, field communication strategies, turbine characteristics and the data required to predict generation output. This helped define how the system should collect, process and compare data for different installation scenarios.

Computools role

Computools developed the system architecture, prepared detailed specifications, and built the platform logic for combining topological, weather and device data. As part of its web development services expertise, the team also created an interface that helped engineers test complex scenarios without working through fragmented tools or manual calculations.

Key decisions and outcomes

After the discovery phase, Computools implemented the system and supported its adaptation to diverse terrains. The final solution helps engineers test what-if scenarios, predict generation output and make new turbine installation decisions faster.

Design

The main design goal was to visually present information about the project, make it understandable and attractive to the target audience and create a positive visual perception of the company and its product.
