Visualizations wind energy projects
Aspects of the landscape have to be considered carefully for environmental assessment of a wind energy project. Emphasis is strongly on the visual-environmental effects, the visual impact. Well-considered choice of location and proposals for layout are essential to preserve or strengthen the existing environmental quality.

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

  • Standard photomontage
  • Panorama photomontage
  • Interactive (via internet) photomontage
  • Animations as movie or interactive (Ecofys WindSim3D)


The visualization products from Ecofys can be used widely. E.g. in the process of assessment and evaluation of alternatives in wind farm layout, turbine types and heights. Furthermore visualizations can be used to support applications for permits and for the conceptualization of innovative use of wind energy and new models of turbines.
