Wind Site Select QGIS 4 compatibility
QGIS 4 ready Active
Yes — Wind Site Select supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).
A QGIS plugin for wind energy site suitability assessment, spatial filtering, and multi-criteria decision analysis.
About
Wind Site Select is a GIS-based wind energy site selection tool for professional GIS users. It supports AOI definition, wind and depth/bathymetry screening, spatial filtering with exclusion and inclusion constraints, and multi-criteria analysis (MCA) with criteria weights, raster/vector outputs, and optional Excel/CSV reporting. Decision Making supports raster criteria and vector Binary/Proximity analysis aligned to the current Spatial Filtering master grid. It does not perform bankable energy-yield calculations and does not replace engineering, environmental, grid-connection, or permitting studies. Users must supply appropriate source datasets; no regional sample rasters are selected automatically. This Stable release was verified on Windows with QGIS 4.0.3. QGIS 3.x (including 3.44 LTR), Linux, and macOS are not claimed as supported by this release.
