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 […]
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 […]
2023-11-27@10:30-12:50: Online data services through windPRO, energyPRO and EMD-API have been down due to a network outage from our service-provider, Netic. Services have been restored, but may be unstable. Luckily this happens very rarely – but do feel free to contact our support hotline in case you experience any further issues support@emd.dk
ERA5 reanalysis data is used as a key source in many of our renewable energy applications – and it is surely also a major component within windPRO climate and mesoscale datasets. Since this summer – more recent data has been made available at an earlier time since the data-delivery in some cases has decreased from […]
Did you know that the EMD-WRF Europe+ mesoscale data set is offered to windPRO users on annual subscription terms at very attractive prices? With a subscription you will have instant access to more than 2.5 million onshore and offshore time series ready for download and constantly updated within the domain shown to the right. Read […]
ERA5(T) in windPRO is a globally comprehensive reference wind dataset with minimal lag in time. Traditional reference datasets, such as ERA5, MERRA2 or ERA-Interim, are available with a lag to real-time of one to three months, which typically results in compromising the data quality and delaying decision making up to months. With the release of […]
With the new EMD Solar Energy Index service, Solar PV asset managers and operators now have easy access to index data worldwide to evaluate the performance of their plants. We offer two levels of index services: Regional Index and Plant Index. Regional Index A free Solar Energy Index for most recent month, quarter, YTD, or […]
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 […]
Two high-quality digital terrain models (DTM’s) in 5m and 20m resolution covering the German state of Saxony-Anhalt have now been added to the online-services of windPRO 3.4. These elevation models are derived from a higher resolution model (2m grid-resolution), recently released from the Landesamtes für Vermessung und Geoinformation Sachsen-Anhalt (LVermGeo). Source data originates from years […]
