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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
(English below) La base de données sur l’éolien terrestre en France est maintenant disponible au téléchargement dans windPRO! Les informations extraites de la base de données OREOL concernent les éoliennes de plus de 50 m, déjà mise en service ou projetées. Les données proviennent de la source publiquement disponible. Dès aujourd’hui, ces informations peuvent être […]
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 […]
EMD has just launched a new premium EMD-WRF South Korea (ERA5) mesoscale data set based on ERA5 reanalysis data as the global boundary data set used in the WRF model setup. The new data set covers more than 45,000 time series ready to be downloaded instantly through windPRO. The new EMD-WRF South Korea (ERA5) data […]
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 […]
We have made a new digital terrain model available that covers the entire Czech Republic. This model was produced using airborne laser scanning (LIDAR) data collected between 2009 and 2014. The data in windPRO is sourced from the Geoportal ČÚZK, operated by the Czech Land Survey Office. The model in windPRO is derived from an […]
Here you will learn how to build complex energy systems and solve them through a techno-economic approach using the program’s MILP-solver. The focus areas of the course will be: – The unit commitment problem – Project settings – Adding of fuels, energy conversion units and demands – Understanding the MILP method – Handling of reports […]
A major comparison between the economic optimization made by energyPRO (called the analytic optimization method) and other solver methods has been made and published in Elseviers peer reviewed paper Energy. The comparison show that the economic optimization in energyPRO matches fully other solver methods, when modelling flexible district energy plants equipped with CHP´s, heat pumps […]
