  • Performance Tab Enhancements The Performance tab on the simulation detail page now provides an overview of the wind speed and energy production per wind farm. You can select an individual wind farm to view more detailed data, including:

    • An hourly / monthly table

    • Wind speed and energy production per turbine

  • Overview Tab Improvements The Overview tab now displays more comprehensive information about the simulation configuration:

    • A table listing met mast locations

    • A new table showing wind farms, including:

      • Turbine locations within each wind farm

      • Selected turbine model

      • Whether thrust was enabled or disabled

      • Domain placement (LES or MESO)

    • The heights set for WRG and Fields are now also displayed

  • Selected turbines in a simulation setup are now referenced by the turbine model's ID instead of its name. This change helps distinguish between turbine models that share the same name. In a future update, the turbine model ID will also be displayed in the simulation wizard, making it easier for users to differentiate between models with similar names.

  • Enhanced error messages for cases where a full page fails to load. The messages are now more readable and include a button to easily notify Whiffle Support and request assistance.

Turbine Detail Page & Management Improvements

  • A turbine detail page has been added, displaying turbine specifications along with graphs for the Power and Thrust curves, making it easier to reference turbine model specifications.

  • An additional tab presents a detailed table with Reference Wind Speed, Power, and Thrust Coefficient values.

  • The process for adding, editing, and deleting turbines has been streamlined for a smoother and more intuitive experience.

2025-04-03

  • Free Simulation Message Free trial users will now see a message on the Overview step of the setup wizard, informing them that their simulation is a gift from Whiffle and will be run free of charge.

  • First-Time User Onboarding New users are now guided through a quick onboarding experience, providing helpful tips, tricks, and essential information to help them get started with Whiffle Wind more effectively.

2025-03-26

  • Simulations can now be cancelled using the Cancel button on the simulation detail page. Please note that a fee may apply depending on how long the simulation has been running. For more details, refer to our documentation: Cancelling a Simulation.

  • Enhanced readability of period info details by removing the duplicate UTC label, ensuring it fits better on the detail page.

  • Added a visible cursor on hover in the simulation wizard steps, signaling that steps can be navigated back to.

  • Fixed an issue where importing an incorrect turbine specification blocked the upload of a new turbine spec.

  • Introduced a direct URL to the registration form, simplifying the registration process from whiffle.nl and other sources.

  • Revamped the downloads list for a more compact and readable layout.

  • Long-term correction warnings are now only displayed for time series simulations, resolving their incorrect appearance in statistics simulations.

2025-01-07

  • New Period Option: Statistics (Beta)

    • Introduced a new period option called Statistics in the period step of the simulation setup wizard.

    • This feature is currently in Beta, allowing users to test and provide feedback.

    • The Statistics option simulates a sample of days to generate 20-year statistics in the most cost-efficient manner.

  • Simulation Video Controls

    • Added the ability to adjust the speed of simulation videos.

    • You can now increase or decrease playback speed for a customized viewing experience.
