Visualisation of wind turbines

• Mission:
• Client: Behörde für Stadtentwicklung und Umwelt, Hamburg
• Duration: 2010/04/01 - 2010/12/01

On behalf of the planning office EGL, visualisations were created for potential wind energy suitability areas in Hamburg for the Hamburg City Authority for Urban Development and the Environment (BSU). A total of 27 photo locations were selected to capture as common a view of the areas as possible.

The wind turbine model (N100 by Nordex) with a hub height of 100m as well as the positions of the individual turbines were determined by the client. The basis for the simulations of the wind turbines is a 3D model in which both the photo locations and the turbines are georeferenced.

The client’s goal of using the visualisations both as an internal basis for discussion and for providing information to the public places high demands on spatial-structural and atmospheric precision. The simulation of wind turbines has had a positive impact in the further course of planning and coordination.
