The BASIS module is the backbone for the use of other windPRO modules and gives access to an user-friendly graphical user interface for designing wind farm projects.
Did you know that the EMD-WRF Europe+ mesoscale data set is offered to windPRO users on annual subscription terms at very attractive prices? With a subscription you will have instant access to more than 2.5 million onshore and offshore time series ready for download and constantly updated within the domain shown to the right. Read […]
In 2016, 12% of the installed wind turbine capacity in Europe was older than 15 years. This share increases to 28% by 2020. Consequently, a significant number of wind turbines will reach the end of their planned service life in the near future. Lifetime extension is appealing in that it can increase returns on investment […]
Pit thermal energy storage (PTES) combined with solar collector systems and other technologies such as e.g. CHP, ORC, boilers and heat pumps is an attractive solution to utilize long-term stored excess heat and consequently to de-carbonize the heat supply. It can be build big. It is cheap. It is simple. But it is not simple […]
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 […]
We have scheduled a number of different online courses in September. The ‘Introduction to energyPRO’ course you will learn how to use energyPRO and for which type of analysis our software solution can be used for. Through examples, we guide you through how to set up a model including all the different types of elements […]
Event taking place March 23, 2022 Thomas Sørensen from EMD will give an introduction to noise optimization using multidimensional climatic parameters (wind speed, direction, temperature, shear, time etc.) between 15:00-15:25. Read more about the event here, where you can also find a link to the registration.
As of today, windPRO users working with offshore wind farms now have free access to updated versions of the GEBCO (Global) and EMODnet (European) bathymetry datasets. Within the 2020-version of the European EMODnet bathymetry the number of contributing surveys has almost doubled from 9400 to 16360. Likewise, the GEBCO 2021 bathymetry data is also updated […]
The list of improvements in this version includes: OPTIMIZE, more technologies included Batteries, formulae in charge/discharge Peak payments included in MILP calculation Time series, option of scaling and offsetting Time series, option of setting colour We have added more technologies to the OPTIMIZE module. Now you can also optimize: Transmissions Hydraulic transmissions Grid connections […]
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 […]
