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 […]
In May, four French digital terrain models (DTM’s) or MNT’s (Modèle Numérique de Terrain) were released with windPRO. Now the French geo-datasets in windPRO have been extended to include also French orthophotos and French Raster maps. Both maps are available as part of our dynamic, zoomable maps. All French geo-datasets are freely available for users […]
The windPRO online-data team at EMD has just released a 2022 version of the “windPRO Global Satellite Imagery – 10m” dataset. This dataset supplements the 2018 release which is still available. The new 2022 version is of higher quality and has fewer clouds compared to the 2018 version. You can add it as a background […]
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 […]
Several parameters are missing from the ECMWF delivered ERA5 pressure-level data-files needed as input boundary-data for the EMD-WRF modelling. The unfortunate consequence is, that the data-update for the month of September will be delayed. We are currently in dialogue with the ECMWF support about this error and when they expect to have it resolved. Currently […]
The courses take place online from 9:00-13:00 and there are different topics including ✔️Introduction to energyPRO ✔️Heat network and transmission lines ✔️Sector coupling and PtX ✔️Advanced heat pump modelling Please read more about the course programs, price and register here.
We have scheduled a number of different online courses in September. The ‘Introduction to energyPRO’ course you will learn how to use energyPRO and for which type of analysis our software solution can be used for. Through examples, we guide you through how to set up a model including all the different types of elements […]
SARAH-3 is a climate data record from EUMETSAT CM SAF that provides high-resolution solar irradiation data for Europe and Africa. It is replacing SARAH-2 which is no longer being updated forward in time. Our online-data team has assessed this dataset: Compared to in-situ data and reference data, both SARAH datasets show a reliable and stable performance, […]
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 […]
