About the Wind Farm Simulator
Model turbine capacity and capacity factor against power price and opex to see annual generation, revenue, and profit.
It's built for directional planning: change any assumption and watch the whole projection move, the way a seasoned operator pressure-tests a plan before committing capital. Everything is computed live in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.
How the Wind Farm Simulator Works
The model takes 5 assumptions and returns 3 headline metrics plus a full breakdown. Here is exactly what goes in and what comes out — no black box.
The Inputs
| Assumption | Example value |
|---|---|
| Turbines | 20 |
| MW per turbine | 2.5 |
| Capacity factor | 35% |
| Price per MWh | $40 |
| Opex / MW / year | $45,000 |
Worked Example

The Operator's Read
Capacity factor (real output vs. nameplate) and the power purchase price drive everything. Wind is capital-heavy up front, then nearly free to run — so financing terms and site wind quality make or break returns. Educational only.
Assumptions & Limitations
- •The model is deterministic: it projects your inputs forward with clear arithmetic, not a Monte-Carlo or probabilistic forecast. It shows one scenario at a time — run several to bracket a range.
- •Defaults are illustrative benchmarks, not your business. Replace every field with your real numbers before drawing conclusions.
- •It abstracts away taxes, financing, seasonality, and one-off events unless a field explicitly captures them. Treat the output as a directional estimate.
- •This is an educational tool, not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Validate real decisions with a qualified professional.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Wind Farm Simulator calculate?
Model turbine capacity and capacity factor against power price and opex to see annual generation, revenue, and profit. It takes 5 assumptions — Turbines, MW per turbine, Capacity factor, Price per MWh, Opex / MW / year — and returns Annual generation, Annual revenue, Profit (pre-financing), along with a full projection table you can export.
How do I use the Wind Farm Simulator?
Enter your own figures in the input fields above — Turbines, MW per turbine, Capacity factor, and the rest. The model recalculates instantly and shows the resulting Annual generation and full breakdown. No sign-up needed to run it.
Is the Wind Farm Simulator free?
Yes — you can run the simulator and see the headline results for free. Toolkit Pro unlocks the full projection table, Excel/PDF export, saved scenarios, and AI analysis: $180/mo, $1,728/yr, or unlock any 3 simulators for $20.
What's the difference between this and a free calculator?
A calculator answers one question. This simulator models the full picture — multiple linked assumptions, a projection table, and scenario comparison — the way an operator would build it in a spreadsheet, but instantly.
Who built the Wind Farm Simulator?
The Crimson Bench's Ivy League-educated operators — the same people we deploy into C-suites. This is the self-serve version of a model they'd build inside a live engagement.
Is this financial advice?
No. The Wind Farm Simulator is an educational modeling tool for directional planning — not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Validate any real decision with a qualified professional.
