Simis delivers simulation software for wind turbines
- Published 30 June 2022; updated 30 September 2026; estimated reading time 2 minutes. Listed under Offshore wind / Development and presurvey and Energy.
- Simis’ ASHES is an aeroelastic design and analysis tool for simulating onshore and offshore wind turbines. It provides an engineering interface and simulation core. The company says cloud-computing integration makes simulations 100 times faster and improves usability, reducing errors and raising design quality.
- The page says turbine developers commonly run thousands of simulations each day; with ASHES, a batch that could take multiple days may take about one hour, while cloud computing lowers cost per simulation. Faster iteration is intended to improve turbine designs and reduce the levelised cost of energy (LCOE).
- The article identifies installation expense as a barrier to wind-power deployment and frames simulation software as a way to improve designs and costs. It estimates the wind-turbine simulation-software market at roughly USD 56 million globally, with 10% annual growth, and says cloud computing might double the market within five years. These are estimates and projections from the article; the five-year horizon from 2022 reaches 2027.
