WaiMAPRenewables, Power Infrastructure & Energy Storage
Find and compare sites, design plants and connections, estimate energy, cost and returns, and follow construction — one project, one map, with the evidence behind every number.
For: Developers, IPPs, utilities and TSOs, EPC contractors, investors
What you give WaiMAP
- A point, a site boundary or a route A → B
- Plant size and equipment choices (modules, turbines, conductor, storage hours)
- Optional: your own data — met-mast or solar time series, price series, survey DEM, CAD / IFC drawings, unit prices
What it does
Automatic
- Resource from the atlas, PVGIS / NASA POWER and your data
- PV layout, stringing and cabling; wind layout and wakes
- Least-cost route alternatives, simple and optimum tower spotting, sag-tension, clearance and tower loads
- Substation estimate with single-line diagram; quantities and Class 4–5 cost; project finance
Manual input
- Choose the equipment and design criteria
- Enter or confirm your unit prices
- Confirm the route, angle points and assumptions before the report
What you get
- Technical, cost and feasibility reports (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, HTML)
- Excel calc sheets and BoQ
- DXF / DWG / IFC drawings, KML / GeoJSON
- Data Trust appendix and Bankability Assessment (supports bankability — no lender approval)
Planned
- Dam and reservoir hydropower engineering
Demonstration project
Demonstration project (generated with WaiMAP engines)
Whitewell NPP – Bulgaria – Germany transmission corridor (demonstration)
A 400 kV corridor of about 2,418 km screened with the WaiMAP line engines: three route alternatives on an open-data cost surface, three representative 10 km sections with spotting, sag-tension, quantities, optimum spotting and checks.

Use cases
Solar PV and wind
Hourly yield with P50–P99, layouts, stringing and cabling for PV; NASA POWER or met-mast wind with long-term correction, wakes and layout optimisation.
Battery storage (BESS)
Market dispatch, revenue stack, degradation and augmentation, LCOS, finance and economic analysis.
Hydropower
Run-of-river: flow duration curve, design flow, waterway hydraulics, turbines, energy, BoQ and finance.
Transmission lines and substations
Least-cost routes, sag-tension and clearances, optimum tower spotting, substation configuration, SLD and CAPEX.
Terrain, access roads and site preparation
Platforms and cut / fill alternatives, drainage, mass haul, abnormal-load access for blades and transformers.
Construction progress and operational monitoring
Drone orthophotos and point clouds, progress against plan, observation areas around operating sites.
Across the project lifecycle
One project from the first screening to operation — the same map, data and drawing at every stage.
Development & Feasibility
Site screening, resource, grid connection options, land → capacity, 8-axis go / no-go, finance.
Design & Engineering
Plant layout and electrical design, line mechanics, substation estimate, terrain and drainage design, BoQ.
Construction & Commissioning
Progress S-curve, interim payment certificates, drone surveys, revisions of the project drawing.
Operations & Maintenance
Observation areas, PV defect screening on drone orthophotos; predictive O&M is rolling out.
Workflow
- Pick or import the site
- Screen resource, grid and constraints
- Design the plant and the connection
- Run yield, cost and finance
- Check Data Trust and readiness
- Issue the report and follow construction
