Over the years, tens of thousands of potential wind farm sites have relied on the excellent Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data as one of the main data-sources for on-site orography. Many of us are still using SRTM data and more than 50% of all elevation downloads in windPRO are SRTM-30m resolution (1-arc-second) data. In […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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). Read more at our […]
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 […]
