During 2016-2018 EMD International A/S (EMD) formed a fruitful project partnership with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and ÜSTÜN Energy Engineering LLC from Turkey (ÜSTÜN) within the Eurostars project “windPROSPER”. In 2019 products from the project are released by the project partners and made available to users of windPRO. First product from windPROSPER was […]
Scheduled server maintenance Sunday the 17th of December, between 11:00 GMT (12:00 Danish time) and 17:00 GMT Online systems will be temporarily unavailable during this time, including but not limited to: • License Registration and OnlineData for windPRO, energyPRO and energyTRADE • Website www.emd.dk including api.emd.dk and windprospecting.com Calculations and tasks in windPRO and energyPRO […]
Have you heard about the newest concept “Smart-Start”? This month, a research paper came out that describes the benefits of this smart method. What might surprise you is that some time ago, we have already implemented that concept in our wind farm layout optimizer in #windPRO The optimizer includes a super efficient implementation of the #SmartStart heuristics […]
Discover the Autumn Update of energyPRO 4.9! We’re thrilled to announce the latest release of energyPRO 4.9. The spotlight feature: OPTIMIZE! With OPTIMIZE, you can now perform sizing optimization for energy conversion units and storage components within your model, empowering you to make more informed decisions. But that’s not all! We’ve added the ability to […]
windPRO now includes an option to run WakeBlaster, a new wake model. WakeBlaster is a numerical solver of the 3-dimensional Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes equations, specialized in wind turbine wakes. But what is new? No more superposition: Instead of modelling single turbine wakes and superimposing them empirically, WakeBlaster models the whole waked wind field in […]
The Italian Elevation Model – TINITALY – is a seamless digital elevation model that covers the territory of Italy. It is produced by Tarquini et al – using a Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) approach – and built from separate elevation models from each of the administrative regions of Italy. Grid resolution is 10m with the […]
Previously, we have shown how easy it is to identify and correct long term consistency of wind speed to be used for Post construction analysis and Loss evaluation. Another fundamental feature for Post construction analysis and loss evaluations is a consistent Nacelle Transfer Function “NTF” of the SCADA Nacelle anemometer wind speed measurements as its […]
EMD has evaluated the annual tree-growth using the recent Finnish LUKE data from 2021 comparing it to 2015 data. As seen from graph below, average tree growth is positive for trees with a height to about 15m, then it becomes negative (on average) due to tree-felling and active forestry. Only areas marked with “Forest” as […]
During the last releases of windPRO, EMD has implemented several open-data interchange formats to facilitate easy interaction with 3rd party tools and models: FLOWREQ and FLOWRES are our windPRO flow-model interchange formats that include the option to pack all data for doing a flow-model simulation, and then receive the results in a standardized format. SITERES […]
ETH forest canopy heights – global coverage and high-resolution – now in windPRO! If you are analysing wind farms at forested sites in any part of the world, then a high-resolution canopy height dataset is now available: “Global Sentinel-2 10m Canopy Height (ETH Zurich)”. The dataset is created by a team of ETH researchers using […]
