Category:WindPRO 4.1 Service Pack 1: Difference between revisions

December 2024, build 4.1.264.

A list of previous releases can be found here: windPRO releases

Below you will find a list of all changes made in Service Pack 1. Thanks to all users for submitting feedback, so we can make windPRO even better. Although the list is long, the majority of the changes are minor.

The items below are ordered alphabetically by module, then by importance. Error > Issue > Annoyance > "everything else"

BASIS

DECIBEL

• Fixed error where selection of noise insulation parameters could be reset for Finish Low Frequency model.
• Fixed error where noise data from PowerMatrix would not be detected properly.
• Fixed error where the Agr component was missing from the reflection attenuation when using alternative ground attenuation.
• Fixed issue where an edited user labels would not be updated in the report after clicking "Calculate" from right-click menu.
• Fixed issue where missing selection of area object for ground attenuation could prevent calculation from being run, even though "Area with hard ground" wasn't selected.
• Fixed issue in the Print Report Setup where symbols were not displayed.
• Added check to ensure that area with hard ground has been selected, if "General" ground attenuation was selected.
• Updated name of Danish statutory order.

LOAD RESPONSE

• Fixed color scale in Fatigue loads Results (Map) tab.
• Added 'Expand all' options in the Results (Table) tab for Fatigue loads.

LOSS & UNCERTAINTY

• Improved visibility of symbols in Print Report setup.

METEO

• Fixed issue where calculation of shear using "Internal shear matrix" could halt if one of the selected source heights did not have a wind direction signal, regardless of "Use to find sector" setting.
• Fixed issue where invalid start- and end dates in calibration setup could cause an exception.
• Fixed issue where disabling using flagging for samples marked as out of range could cause exception.
• Fixed issue where certain time stamps weren't adjusted in Wake cleaning.
• Fixed annoyance where mouse wheel scrolling in wind speed relations graph could cause x- and y-axis to get out of sync.
• Fixed annoyance scrolling to the end of a time series in the Time Series Graph.
• Fixed annoyance where wind speed relations graph and turbulence did not resize properly if the Meteo Object window was resized.
• Updated link to documentation for Configuration compliance.
• Updated text for missing direction distribution graph.
• Renamed window of sheared time series setup.
• Added information "i" in advanced enable/disable window and in Calibration tab.
• Updated various texts in the Profile Graph for clarity.

MODEL

• Fixed problem with 'Single Point AEP WAsP Interface' calculation not working.
• Fixed error in 'Single Point AEP METEO' calculation where a custom percentage loss was not applied.

NORD2000

• Fixed error where calculation could use incorrect noise data. Please double check any NORD2000 calculations using fixed wind speed at 10 m height.

OPTIMIZE

• Improved calculation engine for X out of Y optimization.
• Fixed typo.

PARK

• Fixed error in Ainslie 88 wake model when using RSF/WRG files together with a displacement height.
• Fixed sporadic issue where the decimal separator would involuntarily change from comma to period.
• Fixed issue where PARK sector output count could be 0 in some cases.
• Default sector count changed to 36 for WAsP CFD in Scaler setup.
• Removed redundant RIX report and references to RIX setup for time-based calculations with WAsP CFD.
• Fixed graphical issue where the turbulence graph in a PARK report was mirrored. It had no influence of calculation results.
• Removed the display of the Site Data Object on the map of STATGEN reports.
• Renamed column texts in Curtailment Assumptions report.

PERFORMANCE CHECK

• Fixed issue where production data was not restored if deleting turbine objects and closing the project without saving.
• Fixed issue in error code setup, where deleting and replacing error codes did not update frequency properly.
• Fixed issue where it was possible to create turbine indices with less than 12 months of data.
• Fixed issue where removal of USER error codes was not possible if "No error codes"-concept was chosen.
• Fixed annoyance where wind speed corrections using transfer function didn't make a warning appear in the calculation setup window.
• Fixed annoyance in wind index calculation setup where turbine power curve settings were only partially visible.
• Fixed annoyance with x-axis labels of WTG count not being integers.

PHOTOMONTAGE

• Fix error that wireframes were misplaced when using native grid.

RESOURCE

• Fixed issue where a WTG area would not be detected if it was so small that it could fit completely inside a single output cell.
• Fixed issue where ZoneInEastern was not stored in .emdinfo files.

SHADOW

• Fixed error when using only Elevation Grid Object obstacles (and NOT using Obstacle or Area objects)
• Fixed issue where "Flicker curtailment protection, details" result-to-file did not use the selected format from curtailment calculation setup.

SITE COMPLIANCE

• Fixed error in wind shear calculation when using .flowres.
• Fixed issue where the TI effective result table would show std.dev for Sigma C no matter the selection of units.
• Removed the presence of masts on the Wind Distribution report and Wind Shear Results tab.
• Added a warning if trying to rerun a calculation that uses different sector counts for turbulence and for frequency.
• Fixed annoyance with x-axis labels of WTG count not being integers.
• Updated text for Site Data Object purpose.

Sketchup integration tool

• Fixed issue where using comma as decimal separator an error could happen when exporting Solar PV panels to SketchUp.
• Fix annoyance where Line edges were not visible in SketchUp due to "Show edges" being disabled by default. Now they are automatically enabled.

SOLAR PV

• Fixed error in shadow calculation in E-W facing PV areas
• Fixed issue where an exception would occur if closing the window with the list of existing windPRO calculations, and then creating a new calculation.
