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 […]
Over the years, tens of thousands of potential wind farm sites have relied on the excellent Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data as one of the main data-sources for on-site orography. Many of us are still using SRTM data and more than 50% of all elevation downloads in windPRO are SRTM-30m resolution (1-arc-second) data. In […]
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 […]
In May, four French digital terrain models (DTM’s) or MNT’s (Modèle Numérique de Terrain) were released with windPRO. Now the French geo-datasets in windPRO have been extended to include also French orthophotos and French Raster maps. Both maps are available as part of our dynamic, zoomable maps. All French geo-datasets are freely available for users […]
Vores anlægssetup bliver mere og mere komplekst og det stiller store krav til bemandingen, arbejdsprocesser og til systemerne, der skal hjælpe til. Det er afgørende, at vi kan levere varmen til kunderne på den billigst mulige måde og samtidig gøre det grønt og effektivt. Derfor har vi netop indgået en aftale med EMD International A/S […]
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 […]
In this article just published in the magazine Hot/Cool 2/2023 written by Anders N. Andersen, it is described how the Danish District Heating Company, Hvide Sande District Heating in recent years has become more resilient by investing in a solar collector, wind turbines, a heat pump, an electrical boiler as well as more thermal storage […]
The windPRO online-data team at EMD has just released a 2022 version of the “windPRO Global Satellite Imagery – 10m” dataset. This dataset supplements the 2018 release which is still available. The new 2022 version is of higher quality and has fewer clouds compared to the 2018 version. You can add it as a background […]
