About reneGIS

What reneGIS is

reneGIS (pronounced "renny-G-I-S", written reneGIS) is a geospatial analytics platform for renewable-energy infrastructure projects. It is built for wind and solar developers, project engineers, land teams and consultants who work with thousands of asset coordinates.

The name combines "renewable energy" and "GIS" (geographic information systems). It is built and operated by Eqaim Technology and Services Private Limited (eqaim.com), based in India, and serves wind and solar developers in India and internationally.

Positioning in one line: reneGIS turns geographic complexity into clear renewable-energy project intelligence.

Products

• Windmill Micrositing (paid): upload turbine and solar coordinates and automatically audit every asset against competing projects for spacing clashes, directional wind-wake risk and solar boundary conflicts. Detects multiple simultaneous clashes per asset, reports a clear status for every asset, and exports colour-coded KML maps for Google Earth (master map, custom company selection, single asset with its clashing neighbours).

• Free GIS tools (no account required): Coordinate Converter at https://renegis.org/tools/coordinate-converter.
• Planned free tools: Wind Turbine 5D / 7D Spacing Calculator, Wind Turbine Distance Checker, Coordinate Distance Calculator, UTM Zone Finder.

The problem it solves

Energy companies acquire land and plot coordinates for wind turbines and solar arrays. Because several developers compete for the same land, assets from different companies often end up too close together. Two problems follow: a turbine placed physically inside another company's solar site, and wind-wake interference, where a turbine placed downwind of another loses energy and suffers extra mechanical load.

Checking these conflicts manually across a project and all its neighbours takes an analyst one to three days per project and has to be repeated every time coordinates change. reneGIS does the same audit in minutes and can be re-run on every revision.

Key capabilities of Windmill Micrositing

• Automated proximity auditing of thousands of coordinates using spherical-earth (Haversine) distances.
• Spacing thresholds expressed in rotor diameters (D), for example 5D and 7D, using the larger rotor of any pair.
• Directional wind-wake screening that considers the bearing between assets and the prevailing wind corridor.
• Solar project boundaries built from submitted corner coordinates, with inside-or-outside checks for competitor turbines.
• Multi-clash detection: one asset can be flagged against several competitors at once, with all matches listed.
• KML export for Google Earth with colour-coded pins, solar footprints and red connector lines between clashing assets.
• Credit-based pricing: organisations buy credits and spend them per analysis; new organisations receive free trial credits.

Free tools

The free tools run entirely in the visitor's browser. Coordinates entered into them are never uploaded to a server.

• Coordinate Converter: Convert between decimal degrees, degrees minutes seconds (DMS) and UTM on WGS84, with zone detection and a map preview. URL: https://renegis.org/tools/coordinate-converter

Coordinate Converter details

• Converts between decimal degrees, degrees minutes seconds (DMS) and UTM on the WGS84 datum, in both directions.
• Accepts DMS in most notations (symbols, letters, colons, leading or trailing hemisphere letters) and pasted coordinate pairs.
• Detects the UTM zone automatically, including the Norway and Svalbard exceptions, and allows projecting into a neighbouring zone.
• Reports grid convergence and point scale factor, and shows the location on an interactive map. Click or drag on the map to pick a point.
• Maps on reneGIS show international boundaries as recognised by the Government of India.
• Results can be shared by URL, for example https://renegis.org/tools/coordinate-converter?lat=24.00252&lon=76.023785

Who uses reneGIS

• Wind and solar project developers and independent power producers.
• Micrositing, GIS and land-acquisition teams that receive coordinates in mixed formats.
• Renewable-energy consultants preparing grid-connection and land applications.
• Engineers who need turbine spacing and proximity checks against neighbouring projects.

Questions reneGIS can answer

• How do I convert latitude and longitude to UTM for a wind project in India?
• Which UTM zone is my site in?
• How far apart should wind turbines be? What do 5D and 7D mean?
• Is a competitor's turbine inside my solar project boundary?
• Which of my turbines are too close to another developer's turbines?
• How do I export a project layout to Google Earth as KML?
• Why are my coordinates 200 metres off between two sources? (datum mismatch between WGS84 and Everest 1830)
