Introduction
The MaStR - Marktstammdatenregister - is the official, public german database for wind turbines. It contains information such as wind turbine data (manufacturer, model, hub-height) along with geographical information such as location and comissioning date. New wind turbines are required by law, to register in the database within one month after commissioning. Older wind turbines must complete their data entries before January 31, 2021.
As of April 2020, users of windPRO 3.3+ can download data about existing wind turbines in Germany from the federal German energy market actor database (Marktstammdatenregister or MaStR). Available metadata can be found in the 'Description' tab of the WTG-object in windPRO.
EMD's database 'DE Wind Turbines MaStR' is automatically updated from the official database every week.
Usage Notes
Things to consider when using this data set:
- The data is submitted by the operator of the WTG and it has not been edited by EMD.
- EMD observed that the WTG positions as provided by Openstreetmap can be more precise than those in the MaStR
- windPRO will try to map the MaStR turbine type to a known type from the windPRO wind turbine catalogue. About 60% will provide a first match, so please consider to manually edit and validate the turbine type after downloading.
- Commissioning / Decommissioning dates are available, if submitted by the operator (Existing WTG object properties → Tab Operation → Start/End dates)
- EMD's MaStR database will be automatically updated from the official database every week
- Turbine types are not only industrial grade, but also smaller domestic turbines and classic/historical wind turbines exist in the database
Availability from within windPRO
Downloading the MaStR data into windPRO is a simple 1-2-3 process - as outlined in the figures below.
