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 […]
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 […]
Many of our windPRO users are improving their modelling by integrating forest height data as input for the dedicated forest models in windPRO: that is within the displacement height calculator and the Objective Roughness Approach (ORA). Forest height data for parts of Norway – derived from the Norwegian SR16 Forest Map – is now available […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Effective from January 1st, 2024, EMD will be adjusting sales prices on selected modules within the energyPRO software package due to general price increases and inclusion of new software functionality in the new 4.9 version released in Q4 2023. The price increase affects the following energyPRO modules: DESIGN: The module prices will increase from €4,400 […]
EMD has evaluated the annual tree-growth using the recent Finnish LUKE data from 2021 comparing it to 2015 data. As seen from graph below, average tree growth is positive for trees with a height to about 15m, then it becomes negative (on average) due to tree-felling and active forestry. Only areas marked with “Forest” as […]
With the new EMD Solar Energy Index service, Solar PV asset managers and operators now have easy access to index data worldwide to evaluate the performance of their plants. We offer two levels of index services: Regional Index and Plant Index. Regional Index A free Solar Energy Index for most recent month, quarter, YTD, or […]
