Many of our windPRO users are improving their modelling by integrating forest height data as input for the dedicated forest models in windPRO: that is within the displacement height calculator and the Objective Roughness Approach (ORA). Forest height data for parts of Norway – derived from the Norwegian SR16 Forest Map – is now available […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Updated 2019 forest height data for Finland – derived from the recent LUKE “Multi-source National Forest Inventory Raster Maps of 2019” (released in 2021) – is now available as an online data service for users of windPRO 3.5. If you are working at forested sites, then within Finland, you can use these forest height data […]
GASP is a free (CC-by-4.0) global dataset in 250m resolution of resource, siting parameters and expected wind turbine design classes – further details on the GASP dataset can be found here. windPRO 3.5 provides easy download of GASP data as resource files, which include the siting parameters, that can be used in park calculations as […]
Forest height data for Sweden derived from the SLU Forest Map of Sweden is now available as an online data service for users of windPRO 3.2. If you are working at forested sites, you can use these forest height data as input for the dedicated forest models – that is within the displacement height calculator […]
