| 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.
