Persimia is a trusted developer of custom simulation software for modeling environmental and community impacts of renewable energy development. Over the past 10 years, Persimia’s engineering team has developed customized software to simulate noise, shadow flicker from wind turbines, zone of visual impact (ZVI), and bat fatality risk at wind farms. These software modules have been used by renewable energy developers across North America and around the world.

In 2024, Persimia’s ISO-9613-2 noise and shadow flicker simulation software was integrated into WindPlanner, a leading software suite for wind farm planning. Also in 2024, Persimia partnered with the Electric Power Research Institute to deploy a new website for modeling bat fatality risk at wind farms. Persimia’s expert engineers and software developers are a critical resource for the energy industry as they seek to accurately model environmental and wildlife impacts of renewable energy development.
