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 […]
Effective from January 1st, 2024, EMD will be adjusting sales prices on selected modules within the windPRO software package due to general price increases and inclusion of new software functionality in the new 4.0 version released in Q3 2023. The price increase affects the following windPRO modules: BASIS: From €1,400 to €1,600 PV SOLAR: From […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Over the last two years, EMD has been working on a new Solar PV module which is now ready in windPRO 3.4. In case you have never worked with solar farms before, don’t worry, the Solar PV module is straight forward to use: Digitize area to fill with panels Define panel characteristics (tilt angle, azimuth, […]
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 […]
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 […]
