TopDesign model tool chain
TopDesign is a tool chain integration platform developed for multi-disciplinary analysis and optimisation (MDAO) in wind energy.
TopDesign supports researchers, engineers and practitioners in the wind energy sector who need to simulate, design, operate, and investigate wind farms (both conventional and airborne). They can benefit from the capability to integrate existing and new models and workflows.
WindLab knowledge and data hub
MERIDIONAL, AIRE, and FLOW projects have come together to launch WindLab. This collaborative knowledge and data hub aims to consolidate the latest scientific research and provide open-access data to accelerate innovation in wind energy systems.
WindLab is a centralised platform for sharing datasets, research outcomes and best practices in wind energy, with a emphasis on improving system efficiency, enhancing predictive capabilities, and supporting the development of innovative wind energy technologies.
