Wind Energy Visualization

Wind power generation is quickly growing as a renewable energy source that can serve as an alternative to fossil fuel-generated electricity. In the U.S., 8% of energy generating capacity comes from wind turbines—that’s currently more than any other renewable resource—and wind power has more than tripled over the past decade.

From advanced analytic solutions that inform planning and forecasting to sighting to steel in the ground to operations, at INT, we want to help you forecast the potential for wind farms, predict the production power of wind projects, and determine the feasibility and potential limitations of a location.

“As renewable energy grows, wind energy will become the backbone of energy systems in many parts of the world, requiring us to move beyond the focus on simply increasing wind energy capacity…”
—Morten Dyrholm, Chairman, Global Wind Energy Council

Monitor Wind Farm Data in Real Time

Many variables are needed to accurately forecast and predict wind power outcomes such as wind speed, wind temperature, and wind pressure. Additional variables include weather seasonality, production power of wind turbines, and distance from nearby power plants.

INT provides the technology needed to visualize relevant wind variables necessary to make key business decisions, such as finding optimal wind farm locations, forecasting output, and monitoring operations. INT’s advanced visualization libraries (GeoToolkit) allow developers to display required views—wind temperature, speed, pressure, and more—to directly monitor the data from a wind farm in real time.

Types of Visualization Needed:

  • Forecast potential for wind farms
  • Predict the production power of wind projects
  • Determine any potential location limitations
  • Operations optimization
  • Real-time data from sensors to prevent downtime
  • Wind characteristics data
    • Ex: wind speed, wind temperature, and wind pressure
  • Location-specific time series models

INT Offers Two Options For Your Wind Energy Application

Augment your visualization with customizable, domain-specific libraries with GeoToolkit or leverage IVAAP, INT’s industry-leading domain visualization platform.

GeoToolkit

HTML5 libraries and toolkit for geoscience data visualization

Features

  • Build a visualization platform or incorporate domain visuals into existing applications
  • Works with Front-end Subsurface technology
  • Leverage APIs with libraries and SDK to customize visuals
  • More than 160 tutorials
  • Available in JavaScript, Angular, and React

Why Choose GeoToolkit?

Developers can:

  • Build subsurface exploration or data management applications with single or multi-well displays.
  • Embed visualization into an existing application.
  • Provide visualization 10x faster than building from scratch.

IVAAP

Comprehensive data visualization platform for the cloud

Features

  • All of the features of GeoToolkit, PLUS
  • Data source connectors to access data without moving it
  • Front-end client with dashboards, templates, and search capabilities
  • Back-end SDK extensible to add standard or custom connectors
  • Standard connectors to cloud providers: AWS, Azure, IBM, GCP
  • Standard connectors to OSDU, PPDM, WITSML

Why Choose IVAAP?

  • No need to rebuild all data source connectors and the front-end client UI from scratch
  • Can focus on the workflow aspect of the application versus the visualization using out-of-the-box capabilities
  • Data aggregation and co-visualization in one dashboard without moving data
  • Build faster, deliver cheaper your application (less code to create)
