Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for mapping wind turbines and predicting wake effects using satellite imagery data are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes analyzing one or more satellite images depicting one or more portions of a pre-determined geographic area; detecting a group of one or more wind turbines in the pre-determined geographic area based on the analyzing step and one or more additional items of data; inferring geographic coordinates of each of the detected wind turbines; predicting a wake effect impacting one or more of the detected wind turbines based on the inferred geographic coordinates of each of the detected wind turbines and forecasted weather data; and outputting the predicted wake effect to at least one user.
