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 […]
Two high-quality digital elevation models (DTM’s) in 5m and 20m resolution and covering the German state of Brandenburg have now been added to the online-services of windPRO 3.3. These elevation models are adapted versions of higher resolution models obtained by aerial surveys with data source from Landesvermessung und Geobasisinformation Brandenburg (LGB).

Now windPRO users developing wind farms in Latvia have easy access to a comprehensive package with very high-resolution Latvian national geodata. The data is available through the online-data services in windPRO 3.3+ and includes national elevation model (20m resolution) and forest height data (5m resolution, currently with spatial coverage of about half of Latvia). Topographic […]
The ”Near-Global Forest Canopy Heights GLAD” dataset is developed from a fusion of GEDI lidar data (Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation Lidar) and Landsat imagery data. It has a near-global spatial coverage ranging from latitudes S52.0 to N52.0, and it reflects the 95% relative height of the canopy with a 25m ground area footprint. The GEDI […]
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 […]
(English below) La base de données sur l’éolien terrestre en France est maintenant disponible au téléchargement dans windPRO! Les informations extraites de la base de données OREOL concernent les éoliennes de plus de 50 m, déjà mise en service ou projetées. Les données proviennent de la source publiquement disponible. Dès aujourd’hui, ces informations peuvent être […]
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 […]
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 […]
We have made a new digital terrain model available that covers the entire Czech Republic. This model was produced using airborne laser scanning (LIDAR) data collected between 2009 and 2014. The data in windPRO is sourced from the Geoportal ČÚZK, operated by the Czech Land Survey Office. The model in windPRO is derived from an […]
EMD has evaluated the annual tree-growth using the recent Finnish LUKE data from 2021 comparing it to 2015 data. As seen from graph below, average tree growth is positive for trees with a height to about 15m, then it becomes negative (on average) due to tree-felling and active forestry. Only areas marked with “Forest” as […]
