TurbineVu360

This innovative tool assesses the visual impact of wind farms in a given landscape. As an essential component of public participation in developing renewable energy projects, this data-driven assessment tool promotes transparency and efficiency. TurbineVu360, is an advanced spatial analytics solution, which evaluates visual impact of numerous turbines in existing and planned wind farms. It is automated and scalable, delivers rapid results, and eliminates the need for in-field assessments. Given a set of turbine locations and tower/blade measurements, a detailed report is generated along with spatial intelligence of numbers of turbines in view. Read the product sheet for more information.

An Innovative Tool for Assessing Wind Farm Visual Impact on the Landscape
 
Visual impact assessments play a critical role in the development and expansion of wind farms in the context of renewable energy promotion and associated Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs). Addressing concerns about visual impact can significantly improve community acceptance of wind farm projects. By providing accurate and data-driven visual assessments, developers foster transparency and empower stakeholders to make informed decisions.
 
TurbineVu360 is a cutting-edge spatial analytics tool that allows for the visual impact evaluation of unlimited numbers of turbines for both existing and planned wind farm developments. It is a fully automated and scalable process which generates rapid results over large areas, eliminating the need for time-consuming field visits.
The input required to undertake a TurbineVu360 impact evaluation is simple: All that is required is individual turbine locations, along with tower and blade measurements. With this data, the tool generates a detailed report of the quantitative impact on the landscape as well as digital GIS datasets, enabling users to visualize and analyze the findings.
 

With TurbineVu360, developers, policymakers and landowners can efficiently and independently assess both existing and potential visual impacts of wind turbine infrastructure on the landscape. For greenfield developments TurbineVu360 offers a proactive method for evaluating alternative turbine placement scenarios to help mitigate and minimize visual intrusions and maintain the scenic beauty of the surroundings.
