Does anyone know of a good tool for modeling wind potential?

For example, PVWatts [1] makes it very easy to get solar potential for a site (at hourly granularity). But having trouble finding something similar for wind. Ideally want something that is also validated against data from real world wind farms after they're built.

Have you seen Global Wind Atlas? https://globalwindatlas.info/en


Looks good thanks! Though it's giving system errors at the moment so I'll try back later.
