Get all the data needed to plan a wind energy project. All seamlessly downloaded through windPRO.
ERA5 reanalysis data is used as a key source in many of our renewable energy applications – and it is surely also a major component within windPRO climate and mesoscale datasets. Since this summer – more recent data has been made available at an earlier time since the data-delivery in some cases has decreased from […]
The ZVI module calculates and documents the visibility of WTGs from any point in the landscape. The cumulative visual impact of wind farms can also be calculated as well as a planning map of non-visibility of WTGs for radars.
The LOAD RESPONSE module provides easy-to-use calculations of fatigue loads for IEC 61400-1, ed. 4 (2019) ed. 3 (2010) or ed. 2 (1999) site suitability assessment. The module includes generic turbine models representing typical turbines on the market, and manufacturers can easily implement their own in-house turbine models
With the FINANCE module the user can expand the energy and economic calculations to also cover the projected lifetime of a project.
The HYBRID module evaluates the financial feasibility of combining electricity prices with different energy technologies like wind and solar. Investigate how you can increase income by consuming power behind-the-meter or use storage to meet demands at times with low production.
The SketchUp INTEGRATION module makes it possible to export elements from windPRO to the standalone software SketchUp (©Trimble Inc.), including background maps, elevation data, calibrated photos from PHOTOMONTAGE, Shape files, result layer raster data, CFD results, Solar PV areas, rotating WTGs and much more. In addition, 3D elements can be exported back from SketchUp and visualized in PHOTOMONTAGE.
The MODEL module provides a collection of tools interfacing with external wind flow models like WAsP, WAsP CFD and other external CFD models. The MODEL tools are often used in combination with other modules like MCP, PARK and SITE COMPLIANCE. A popular tool in MODEL is the Resource map calculator. EMD’s own ATLAS model can also be used with this module.
