How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the mean wind speed at your site from anemometer data or a wind atlas.
- Input the Weibull shape parameter (k) characterizing the wind speed distribution.
- Set the air density at your site elevation.
- Review the estimated annual energy density in W/m² and the wind power class.
- Sites with annual mean wind speeds above 6 m/s at 80 m hub height are generally viable for utility-scale wind.
