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 […]
Discover the Autumn Update of energyPRO 4.9! We’re thrilled to announce the latest release of energyPRO 4.9. The spotlight feature: OPTIMIZE! With OPTIMIZE, you can now perform sizing optimization for energy conversion units and storage components within your model, empowering you to make more informed decisions. But that’s not all! We’ve added the ability to […]
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 […]
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 […]
The “ALOS World 3D 30 m mesh (AW3D30)” dataset is a recent digital surface model (DSM) with global coverage. It is produced by JAXA – Japan’s Aerospace Exploration Agency. Now users of windPRO have direct access to the data in its 30m resolution version – along with its data-quality mask. AW3D30 was generated from data […]
