Pit thermal energy storage (PTES) combined with solar collector systems and other technologies such as e.g. CHP, ORC, boilers and heat pumps is an attractive solution to utilize long-term stored excess heat and consequently to de-carbonize the heat supply. It can be build big. It is cheap. It is simple. But it is not simple […]
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 […]
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 […]
Two additional LiDAR based elevation digital terrain models (DTMs) have been released within Great Britain, which means that by now Wales, Scotland and England are all partly covered by high-resolution, high-quality elevation data in windPRO. These two new datasets come in grid-resolutions of 5m (Scotland) and 10m (England). This data-release is part of a larger […]
In June 2019 EMD released the new pre-run EMD-WRF Europe+ mesoscale dataset based on ERA5 data (“EMD-EUR+”). See details and prices for EMD-EUR+ here. EMD has now published a report on the validation results for EMD-EUR+. Below a few highlights about EMD-EUR+ and the results in the report: EMD-EUR+ replaces EMD-ConWx, downscaled from ERA-Interim (discontinued […]
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 […]
windPRO users developing wind farms in Finland are now able to access a comprehensive package with very high-resolution Finnish national geodata. The data is easily reached through the online-data services in windPRO 3.2+. Available data includes full Finnish coverage of: The national elevation model (10m resolution), forest height data (16m resolution) and existing wind turbine […]
On request from windPRO users working on offshore wind farm developments around the globe, the online-data services in windPRO 3.2+ now offers two bathymetry models: One with Pan-European coverage and grid resolution 230m; the other with global coverage and at a coarser 1km grid-resolution. Water depth data are accessed from the elevation-grid object – with […]
We have scheduled a number of different online courses in September. The ‘Introduction to energyPRO’ course you will learn how to use energyPRO and for which type of analysis our software solution can be used for. Through examples, we guide you through how to set up a model including all the different types of elements […]
We have updated the windPRO online-data services with the newest version of the “EMODnet Digital Bathymetry (DTM)”. This dataset is a combination of many surveys that cover the water depths for Europe’s sea basins. The 2022-release is a revised version of the 2020, 2018 and 2016 datasets – with more surveys included (21937 in total […]
