===Wind functions===
# Navigate to the agricultural area and click in the [[User_Interface#Action_menu|Action menu]] menu on the wind turbines icon.
# Choose the windmill [[Function]] and select the location for it. Click again on Build and Confirm and close the wind turbines menu.
# Click on the Noise contour [[Overlay]] in the [[Overlay]] bar and notice that a new contour is added. This contour has a smaller radius than the contour of the large wind turbine. Click on the Noise contour [[Indicator]] in the [[User_Interface#Top_bar|Top bar]] to see how many houses are in both of these contours and may experience noise disturbance.
Navigate to the wind turbine and notice its shadow is visible. With the {{software}} it is possible to see how the shadow changes throughout the day and or year, which is important for finding a suitable location of a wind turbine. Click on the [[Tools]] tab and click on the [[Sun_angle|Sun angle]] button. Change the date and time to see the shadow moving.
# Click on the wind turbines [[Indicator]] in the [[User_Interface#Top_bar|Top bar]] to see this indicator has also been updated and that the fictional target of 5 MW for this demo is almost achieved.  how much power is generated. For more information about this indicator, see the [[Wind_turbine_(Indicator)|description]]. Notice that a score is calculated, based on the generated power and a target. The target is set on 5 MW. This target is adjustable.
In a project it is possible to add custom types of wind turbines to the Platform, with different attributes such as height, radius of the noise contour or safety contour and power and create  scenarios to find the most suitable placement, dependent on the requirements for a use case.

Explore performing actions and future scenario's

Below the steps for how to add custom solar and wind functions to create custom scenarios.

Solar functions

1 Navigate to the agricultural area and click on the Future Design tab.

Wind functions

1 Navigate to the agricultural area and click in the Action Menu on the wind turbines icon.
DemoSolarWind-CustomWind1.jpg
2 Choose the windmill Function (not the Windmill (Large) function!) and select a location for it.

7 Try to the reach the target by adding another wind turbine by repeating the previous steps. If you are not happy with the placement of a wind turbine, click in the Action Menu on the demolish icon and select the wind turbine to demolish. Click on the button demolish to confirm your selection. With the demolish option it is also possible to demolish the solar functions.
