Now windPRO users developing wind farms in Latvia have easy access to a comprehensive package with very high-resolution Latvian national geodata. The data is available through the online-data services in windPRO 3.3+ and includes national elevation model (20m resolution) and forest height data (5m resolution, currently with spatial coverage of about half of Latvia). Topographic […]
A high-resolution digital terrain model (DTM) for the German Bundesland of Saxony (Sachsen) is now released as a part of the online data services for users of windPRO 3.3. This dataset originates from detailed annual laser-scans of Saxony – years 2008-2019. Here, the native DTM grid resolution is at 1m or 2m. For such DTM […]
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 […]
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 […]
windPRO users developing wind farms in Finland are now able to access a comprehensive package with very high-resolution Finnish national geodata. The data is easily reached through the online-data services in windPRO 3.2+. Available data includes full Finnish coverage of: The national elevation model (10m resolution), forest height data (16m resolution) and existing wind turbine […]
As we notified earlier, the preliminary ERA5T data from a 3-month period ranging from Sep-Nov 2021 (and probably also part of December) will differ from the final, validated ERA5 data. Now, final and validated ERA5 data for additional months of Oct-Nov 2021 have been made available in windPRO and EMD-API. Based on the newly available […]
As of today, windPRO users working with offshore wind farms now have free access to updated versions of the GEBCO (Global) and EMODnet (European) bathymetry datasets. Within the 2020-version of the European EMODnet bathymetry the number of contributing surveys has almost doubled from 9400 to 16360. Likewise, the GEBCO 2021 bathymetry data is also updated […]
For our windPRO users working with wind-farm projects in Sweden and Norway: Topographic maps in scales from 1:50.000 and up to 1:5.000.000 for Norway and 1:10.000.000 for Sweden are now available as zoomable, dynamic maps in windPRO. To access the Swedish or Norwegian map collections, just click the button ‘Add Map’ then navigate to ‘Dynamic […]
The Swedish National Elevation Model (GSD Höjddata, grid 50+ nh) is now available as an online data service for users of windPRO 3.2. The native elevation data is stored in a 50m grid-format. This can be used directly in windPRO from the elevation grid object. If you prefer to use height contour lines, then the […]
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 […]
