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 […]
GASP is a free (CC-by-4.0) global dataset in 250m resolution of resource, siting parameters and expected wind turbine design classes – further details on the GASP dataset can be found here. windPRO 3.5 provides easy download of GASP data as resource files, which include the siting parameters, that can be used in park calculations as […]
The Italian Elevation Model – TINITALY – is a seamless digital elevation model that covers the territory of Italy. It is produced by Tarquini et al – using a Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) approach – and built from separate elevation models from each of the administrative regions of Italy. Grid resolution is 10m with the […]
For our European users of windPRO: The Corine Land Cover 2018 version is now available from windPRO 3.3+. This version supersedes the 2012 and 2006 releases, which are still available in windPRO though. The Corine Land Cover product is very popular as a starting point for roughness classification. This new release has a geometric accuracy […]
Previously, we have shown how easy it is to identify and correct long term consistency of wind speed to be used for Post construction analysis and Loss evaluation. Another fundamental feature for Post construction analysis and loss evaluations is a consistent Nacelle Transfer Function “NTF” of the SCADA Nacelle anemometer wind speed measurements as its […]
