windPRO now includes an option to run WakeBlaster, a new wake model. WakeBlaster is a numerical solver of the 3-dimensional Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes equations, specialized in wind turbine wakes. But what is new? No more superposition: Instead of modelling single turbine wakes and superimposing them empirically, WakeBlaster models the whole waked wind field in […]
The Institut National de l’Information Geographique et Forestiére (IGN) has begun releasing higher resolution and updated versions of the French orthophotos. In windPRO, we have now replaced the existing 5m resolution version with its higher resolution counterparts; this being ready available from the dynamic, zoomable maps of windPRO. Currently this higher resolution imagery covers 86 […]
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 […]
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 […]
This month, 5m and 25m grid-resolution digital terrain models (DTM’s) or MNT’s (Modèle Numérique de Terrain) for France and its overseas territories were released with windPRO. The 5m and 25m are supplementing the 75m grid resolution dataset previously available for mainland France – and they complete the excellent windPRO geopackage now available for wind-farm development […]
