ETH forest canopy heights – global coverage and high-resolution – now in windPRO! If you are analysing wind farms at forested sites in any part of the world, then a high-resolution canopy height dataset is now available: “Global Sentinel-2 10m Canopy Height (ETH Zurich)”. The dataset is created by a team of ETH researchers using […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

Gain the knowledge needed to design and plan both onshore and offshore wind farms in Korea. These courses are tailored to provide you with the latest tools and techniques in windPRO, keeping your business at the forefront of industry advancements. Date(s): […]
Be equipped to design and plan wind farms in Japan – onshore as well as offshore. We have received requests to offer windPRO courses in Tokyo this year and have planned two types. The courses are designed to equip you with the latest tools and techniques in windPRO, ensuring your business stays up to date. […]
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 […]
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 […]
