LONDON -- New software has been developed which has been designed to improve current studies for estimating onshore and offshore wind production, and which may be applied throughout the whole operational life of such facilities, its developers say.
Iberdrola and the Barcelona Supercomputing Center – Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS), with the collaboration of the National Centre for Renewable Energies (CENER), aim to create an innovative information technology model with the research & development project.
Both the development of the project and its subsequent application will take place in the facilities of BSC, using software run by MareNostrum, one of the top 30 fastest supercomputers in the world.
MareNostrum has 48,896 Intel processors and a calculation capacity of 94.21 Teraflops - a measure of computing speed equal to one trillion floating-point operations per second.
