Upgrade your scenario modelling: Organise branches with our new Scenario Manager 

The scenario modelling and comparison feature in Vind AI just got even easier to use. You can now organise your branches in a clear hierarchical structure, showing exactly which scenarios originate from which. Mark your current hypothesis as a base case and visualise relationships directly in the Scenario Manager.

‍

‍

What’s new:

• Visualise dependencies between scenarios: You can now show the relationships between scenarios directly in Vind. If one scenario is based on another, you can make that link explicit and easily see how everything fits together with the new nesting structure.
   
• Get an overview of current and past base cases: There is no longer need to doubt which branch is the current hypothesis of the project, as you can now tag one branch as "Base," and update it as you learn more and test other scenarios.
  
  
• Branch duplication: Choose where in the hierarchy new branches belong, as a root, sibling, or child.
  
  
• Flexible adjustments: Edit directly in the branch list or simply drag the connecting lines in the Scenario Manager.
  
  
• Visibility options: Show archived branches and previous base cases to track project progress.
  ‍
• ‍Optional hierarchy: Prefer simplicity? Keep all branches on the root level and treat them as equals.

New local impact assessment feature: Improved shadow flicker modelling 

‍

‍

Shadow flicker analysis is one of the features built into Vind AI for assessing impact on neighbouring areas, and we’ve now significantly improved its accuracy. Turbines are now modelled as solid disks covering the rotor diameter (always facing the sun).

As a result, the analysis now provides day-level statistics for each sensor, showing the worst day of the year, giving you more precise and reliable flicker data for compliance and layout evaluation.

Reporting function expanded: Export yield reports in PDF form

‍

Vind AI’s advanced yield analysis feature lets you perform an accurate assessment of the annual energy production of your wind farm in seconds, with a high degree of customisability. Now, communicating your results is easier than ever: You can download a Yield report directly from Vind AI.

Find the new Download button at the bottom of the Production frame (where you’ll also find the wind data download), or download it straight from the Wind yield dashboard.

Customise your financial assessments: Financial configuration updates

‍

‍

The initial financial performance predictions in Vind AI let you see the whole business case for your wind project faster and earlier. This month, we’ve added new flexibility and transparency to the financial configurations you can make in the platform:

1. Partial guaranteed price: In the Cash Flows tab, the guaranteed price can now apply to a defined portion of production rather than 100%.
   
   
2. Nominal CAPEX input: You can now input CAPEX as nominal values, choosing whether or not to apply inflation.
   
   
3. Terminal value in DECOM: Add a terminal value (for example, from recycling or material resale) as part of DECOM in the financial configuration.
   
   • It’s included in the DECOM component of the LCOE calculation.
     
   • It’s also factored as revenue in the IRR calculation.
