Safely plan wind turbine sites with wake2e
When planning wind turbines, it is important to calculate and evaluate the turbulence generated in the wind farm. wake2e is the right tool during the entire planning phase.
Calculate like an expert
Take advantage of our recognised expert knowledge: wake2e enables you to plan your wind farm from start to finish. Use the online calculation tool to assess the site suitability of wind turbines in wind farms. This can be helpful for checking and verifying site suitability (including turbulence assessments).
You calculate the ambient turbulence intensity at the wind turbine sites and, based on this, the effective turbulence intensities of all wind turbines in the wind farm as well as other relevant wind conditions. The results are then automatically compared with the design values.

Frequently asked questions
What is wake2e able do?
wake2e helps with the planning of wind turbines. The web-based programme calculates the turbulence generated in the wind farm and other win conditions. This facilitates the planning phase and the subsequent verification of the type certificate. You will need this report on the site suitability of the wind turbine (formerly known as a turbulence report) for the planning permission. In addition, there are extensive options for optimising the wind farm by defining operating modes for wind turbines depending on sector and wind speed.
How does wake2e work?
Access our recognised expert knowledge at wake2e.de. Do the maths like an expert. Test different variants to find the optimum layout for your wind farm. This will save you costs, time and hassle when planning your wind farm.
What information does wake2e need to evaluate a location?
wake2e requires data such as the wind speed distribution, geographical location, topographical information, environmental constraints and more to assess the suitability of a location.
wake2e determines the ambient turbulence for you on the basis of high-resolution satellite data:
- Wind measurements are not absolutely necessary
- Ground roughness does not have to be laboriously determined by hand
What types of wind turbines does wake2e support?
Each type of horizontal axis WTG can be stored with its characteristic curves.
How does wake2e evaluate the locations?
wake2e calculates site suitability using algorithms and recognised calculation methods in accordance with current guidelines. All relevant parameters for site suitability are taken into account.
Can I enter my own data into the application?
Yes, the application allows you to upload your own location data and include it in the evaluation.
What types of reports and results will I receive?
You will receive detailed reports on the site suitability of your planned wind turbine, including information on the impact on neighbouring turbines. You can download all data and results in an automatically generated report in pdf format.
How accurate are the application's results?
The accuracy of the results depends on the quality and quantity of the data provided. In addition, the methods used guarantee reproducible and comprehensible results.
How much does it cost to use wake2e?
Please contact us for information on costs and licence models.
Why do I only receive support once I have taken part in a training course?
wake2e has an intuitive structure. However, the amount of data and possible variables can be overwhelming for inexperienced users. That's why we introduce first-time users to the software, its possibilities and operation in a classroom course or webinar. We are happy to answer any questions that arise afterwards.
Does wake2e fulfil regulatory requirements automatically?
No, the application helps with the assessment, but does not replace the expert opinion required for the legal approval process.
Can wake2e be used in different countries?
Yes, the application can be used in various countries worldwide, provided that the necessary geographical data is provided. All required data is available within wake2e for most of Europe.
What are the technical requirements for using wake2e?
As the application is web-based, all you need is a current and common web browser.
