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 […]
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 […]

On behalf of me and my colleagues at EMD, I would like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We would like to express our sincere thanks for the cooperation with you and your company during the year. 2023 has been a year of growth at EMD, both […]
Effective from January 1st, 2024, EMD will be adjusting sales prices on selected modules within the energyPRO software package due to general price increases and inclusion of new software functionality in the new 4.9 version released in Q4 2023. The price increase affects the following energyPRO modules: DESIGN: The module prices will increase from €4,400 […]
windPRO now includes an option to run WakeBlaster, a new wake model. WakeBlaster is a numerical solver of the 3-dimensional Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes equations, specialized in wind turbine wakes. But what is new? No more superposition: Instead of modelling single turbine wakes and superimposing them empirically, WakeBlaster models the whole waked wind field in […]
On behalf of the InnoWind project team, Morten L. Thøgernsen from EMD will be presenting this topic at the Winterwind conference in Åre, Sweden next week. The presentation will take place on Tuesday February 4th at 11:00-12:30. As wind-analysts, the setup and calibration of a land-surface model are important first steps to simulate the flow […]
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 […]
