ExaWind Software Suite

ExaWind software is an open-source suite of codes that runs on exascale-class computers and simulates wind turbines and wind farms, helping researchers and engineers test ideas prior to development.

NREL developed the Exawind software to:

• Demonstrate ways of understanding wind plant physics and reducing wind plant inefficiencies
• Generate simulation data to empower next-generation design tools
• Provide software tools to drive disruptive wind energy generation technology innovations.

The ExaWind blade-resolved model shows progress toward exascale capabilities.
