Visualizations wind energy projects
Visual impact on the landscape is one of the key aspects that must be taken into account in environmental assessments of wind energy projects. Careful choice of location and layout are therefore essential.

Visualization is an excellent tool that can be used to make a well-considered choice of wind farm location. Visualizations can also be used to create support amongst those who live nearby. For planned wind energy projects, both onshore as offshore, Ecofys delivers several high-quality visualizations as photomontages or animations:

  • Standard photomontage
  • Panorama photomontage
  • Interactive photomontage via internet
  • Animations in film or interactive format (Ecofys WindSim3D)


The visualization products from Ecofys can be used to assess alternatives for wind farm layouts, turbine types and heights. What's more, they can be used to support applications for permits and to evaluate innovative uses of wind energy and new types of turbine.
