News DK Online WTG data corrected Many NEG Micon turbines with 48m rotor were incorrectly imported as the WindWorld variant. Please verify WTG imports performed after March 28, 2012. .......... AFTER-EWEA-LOUNGE In connection with the EWEA 2012 Annual Event in Copenhagen, EMD International A/S arranged a successful AFTER-EWEA-LOUNGE for around 50 WindPRO users. The topics were: WindPRO 2.8 new features and improvements, presented by Per Nielsen, General Manager, EMD International A/S Site Compliance Analysis, Towards consistent, high-quality IEC 61400-1 ed. 3 (2010) site suitability assessments, presented by Lasse Svenningsen, EMD International A/S and Yvonne Käsler, TÜV SÜD Wind Resource Assessment with CFD Combining WAsP, WindPRO and CFD into a unique, accurate and user-friendly CFD-solution for wind resource assessment and more, presented by Andreas Bechmann, DTU Wind Energy and Morten Lybech Thøgersen, EMD International A/S New Methods in Noise Modelling Advanced noise by the NORD 2000 model and low frequency noise calculations, presented by Lars Sommer Søndergaard, DELTA Acoustics and Thomas Sørensen, EMD International A/S We would like to thank all participants for attending and a special thanks to the external presenters. We hope to see you all next time. All presentations are published and are available here: Wind Resource Assessment with CFD WAsP CFD The Nord2000 Implementation Prediction of noise from wind turbines. Nord2000 versus other methods SITE COMPLIANCE: WTG suitability for site and layout WindPRO development: New features .......... New features in WindPRO version 2.8 Read more here .......... WindPRO 2.8 features In 2012 we plan to release the new version 2.8 of WindPRO. This version will contain a completely new Site Compliance module for checking turbine suitability according to IEC standards. Depending on the site complexity, users can prepare detailed site suitability analyses based on mast data or by using WAsP or WAsP Engineering V3 software as flow models in the WindPRO calculations. WindPRO V2.8 will also include the Nord2000 noise model for advanced noise calculations. The new version will have a modernized user interface and have full integration with Google Earth. New on-line data sets will also be included in V2.8 e.g. MERRA data, which is a 30-year wind data set covering land and coastal areas for the entire globe in a much better resolution then the present NCEP/NCAR data set. In addition, V2.8 will also include the Blended Coastal Winds data set with 25 years of wind data suitable for offshore projects up to 100 km from land. Several other new features will be included in V2.8, and we hope you will enjoy working with these once V2.8 is released. .......... Read additional WindPRO news here		Courses
