Windenergy to go - new EOL iPhone App - available now!

Brand new: free download at Apple App Store – our Win(d)Scout-App from
EOL energie-online.de GmbH.

Kassel – The sheer enthusiasm for apps and the endless range of technology for them were the two primary reasons why Kassel-based EOL engergie-online.de and CUBE Engineering GmbH decided to develop an app for use on iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad. As both companies are focused on the same area, the focus of the app was obvious: the app had to feature wind energy.

Wind power via mobile
Until now, there has not been any mobile information available about the wind conditions present in any given location in Germany. But now, the Win(d)Scout makes it possible! The app can display the wind conditions at the site, right where the user stands, or for a manually entered location in Germany (through Google Maps).

Custom-fit wind turbines
The information-rich first screen of the app (screenshot 1) provides a color raster view of Germany according to average wind speed, where the user can virtually position his or her turbines. Using this tool, the user can also position the turbines at their current position and find out in seconds whether the wind speeds and that location meet his or her requirements for a feasible project.
The scenario can be fine-tuned on the app’s second screen (screenshot 2), where the wind turbines can be configured through multitouch or in the settings dialog box. Win(d)Scout then immediately calculates the wind conditions and production output of the customized turbines (screenshots 3 and 4).

Wind Farm Germany
For users interested in all of the wind parks installed in Germany, the app maps them all in one convenient place. Depending on raster settings, all wind turbines and parks in Germany can be made visible, down to the placement of individual turbines at a high zoom level.

Background information
The Win(d)Scout App in this version is for informational and non-commercial use only, providing general wind conditions at a selected site (speed, power and direction)  and the related output of possible wind turbines installed at this location.
All results and estimations of this tool are based on simplified models, presumptions and algorithms for rough calculations only.
EOL energie-online.de GmbH and the author of the data on which these calculations are based assume no liability for results. The data sources used are not appropriate for precise calculation of wind conditions.
