ETH forest canopy heights – global coverage and high-resolution – now in windPRO! If you are analysing wind farms at forested sites in any part of the world, then a high-resolution canopy height dataset is now available: “Global Sentinel-2 10m Canopy Height (ETH Zurich)”. The dataset is created by a team of ETH researchers using […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The national digital elevation models for Norway – released by the Norwegian ‘Kartverket’ – are now available as a part of the online data service for users of windPRO 3.2. In windPRO you can access the digital elevation model (DTM10) – as well as the digital surface model (DOM10). The data is available in a […]
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 […]
A map of the forest heights for Denmark – derived from a dataset developed by the Danish University of Copenhagen – Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management – is now available as an online data service for users of windPRO 3.3+. If you are working at forested sites in Denmark, then you can use […]
