We are pleased to introduce the new Curtailment Optimizer in windPRO 4.0, designed to maximize your wind energy yields while minimizing turbine noise. Optimize Curtailments: Customize your curtailment strategies based on time of day, wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and more. Fine-tune your settings to maximize efficiency in various conditions Stay within Noise Limits: Effectively […]
Event taking place March 23, 2022 Thomas Sørensen from EMD will give an introduction to noise optimization using multidimensional climatic parameters (wind speed, direction, temperature, shear, time etc.) between 15:00-15:25. Read more about the event here, where you can also find a link to the registration.
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 […]

Now you can also optimize: Transmissions Hydraulic transmissions Grid connections […]
You have probably heard this before: We just love the Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) elevation data. SRTM data from year 2000 is today the current paradigm for on-site orography in areas without high quality national elevation models. Tens of thousands of potential wind farm sites have relied on the excellent SRTM dataset which today […]
In 2016, 12% of the installed wind turbine capacity in Europe was older than 15 years. This share increases to 28% by 2020. Consequently, a significant number of wind turbines will reach the end of their planned service life in the near future. Lifetime extension is appealing in that it can increase returns on investment […]
As wind energy analysts, we often find ourselves using land-cover datasets as the starting point of making our roughness classification models. Until now, the spatial resolution of the global land cover datasets has been limited to about 300m. This obviously limits the accuracy at roughness shifts (such as edges of forests, coastlines or cities).With the […]
In June 2019 EMD released the new pre-run EMD-WRF Europe+ mesoscale dataset based on ERA5 data (“EMD-EUR+”). See details and prices for EMD-EUR+ here. EMD has now published a report on the validation results for EMD-EUR+. Below a few highlights about EMD-EUR+ and the results in the report: EMD-EUR+ replaces EMD-ConWx, downscaled from ERA-Interim (discontinued […]
