WindFarm’s shadow flicker module analyses the sun`s location throughout a year to identify times when each turbine may cast shadows on the windows of nearby houses.

The program enables you to:-

  • Calculate the potential for shadow flicker at windows of houses
  • Display a graphical calendar of the shadow flicker events  
  • Display a detailed listing of each shadow event
  • Create a map showing hours of shadow flicker for the whole wind farm and individual turbines  

Beyond a certain distance shadow flicker ceases to be a problem because the ratio of blade width to the sun`s diameter becomes small. Because there is no generally accepted value for this maximum distance, WindFarm allows you to specify the limit in metres or multiples of turbine diameter or turbine blade tip height.
