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 […]
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 […]
This update provides access to elevation data at a 25m grid resolution from a Pan-European domain. The version 1.1 is improved over the version 1.0 by using ICESat as a reference level along with correcting more than 75000 artefacts found in the version 1.0. Read more here – or let us know if there is […]
The Slovakian Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and Slovakian Digital Surface Model (DSM) in windPRO are seamless, high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) that cover almost the entire Slovakian territory. Source data is released from the “Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre Authority of the Slovak Republic (ÚGKK SR)” – and is processed, formatted, and adapted for dedicated windPRO […]
ERA5 reanalysis data is used as a key source in many of our renewable energy applications – and it is surely also a major component within windPRO climate and mesoscale datasets. Since this summer – more recent data has been made available at an earlier time since the data-delivery in some cases has decreased from […]
The New European Wind Atlas (NEWA) is a high-resolution mesoscale dataset that was modelled and provided by the NEWA consortium. NEWA was established as an ERANET+ project with a total budget of 13.1 million euros and it was executed over the years 2016-2019. One of the project outcomes was a comprehensive mesoscale model with a […]
You have probably heard this before: We just love the Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) elevation data. SRTM data from year 2000 is today the current paradigm for on-site orography in areas without high quality national elevation models. Tens of thousands of potential wind farm sites have relied on the excellent SRTM dataset which today […]
In 2016, 12% of the installed wind turbine capacity in Europe was older than 15 years. This share increases to 28% by 2020. Consequently, a significant number of wind turbines will reach the end of their planned service life in the near future. Lifetime extension is appealing in that it can increase returns on investment […]
The list of improvements in this version includes: OPTIMIZE, more technologies included Batteries, formulae in charge/discharge Peak payments included in MILP calculation Time series, option of scaling and offsetting Time series, option of setting colour We have added more technologies to the OPTIMIZE module. Now you can also optimize: Transmissions Hydraulic transmissions Grid connections […]
With the ANIMATION module, it only takes few clicks to generate a realistic animation of the photomontage(s) prepared for your wind farm project. Animated visualizations consist of rotating WTG blades in a sequence of renderings called an animation.
