Category:WindPRO 3.5 Service Pack 1

Below you will find a list of all issues fixed in Service Pack 1:

This Service Pack contains corrections to bugs and comments reported by users. Thanks to all for submitting feedback.

DRAFT VERSION OF CHANGE NOTE

Links to story manager will disappear upon release.

Some TDs are too small to make the list. They are denoted with a "-".

Some TDs will be bundled in one description. They will stand as duplicates in the list.

Some TD's will say "Missing description", which is a draft title.

Headers are sorted alphabetically and items by severity.

Contact PMN for further info and changes.

BASIS

• Solved problem that TIN calculation during calculations can be very slow if the calculation area is not covered completely with elevation data.
• If the computer loses the connection to a network drive so a .wpo cannot be found, windPRO will no longer overwrite it with an empty file once connection is re-established.
• Loading a window layout from before version 3.1 no longer gives an exception
• Fixed issue where multi-editing Shadow receptors would not properly save changes for receptor's slope
• Fixed issue where importing coordinates from a GPX file would not allow deleting individual points
• Fixed issue where having many World file background maps some parts would not be rendered
• Fixed issue which prohibited adding some external WMS map servers
• Added ability to export Area polygons as .grd files
• Updated information in About window
• Changed Help link to point to EMD support page
• Added shortcuts for Calculation tester, WAsPResCalc and EMDPlayer in start menu
• -
• -

DECIBEL

• Fixed error where Ground attenuation would be initialized incorrectly for "Danish Codes"-model
• Fixed issue when running Finnish noise model in combination with a mix of turbines using both PowerMatrix and Power/Noise pairs
• German Interimsverfahren now uses emission side uncertainty by default
• Added option to not show NSA-wise uncertainty on main report
• Missing description

HYBRID

• Fixed an error in the hourly minimum demand power values in report
• Changed report layout for wind cost model
• Fixed typo

LOSS & UNCERTAINTY

• Fixed error which underestimated curtailment losses when a huge amount of curtailment conditions per WTG were defined. If you think that this could have a significant impact on your project, make sure to recalculate losses in Loss & Uncertainty.
• Fixed issue by copy-pasting of curtailments
• Fixed issue by copy-pasting of curtailments

• -

MCP

• Fixed issue where the Measure tab would not calculate correlation (r) values if miniscule time shifts were present.
• Fixed misspelling in Session report
• Updated the mouseover hint next to "Show with residuals" to reflect the changes made between version 3.4 and 3.5

METEO

• Fixed error where the resulting correction does not consider any applied magnetic declination
• Fixed error where manually inputting magnetic declination would calculate a wrong resulting calibration
• Fixed error where calibration would not always include the last sample
• Fixed issue in Recalibration, where empty, 0 or 1 values for scale and offset would not be correctly handled
• Fixed issue where merging two recalibration lines would sometimes be split again after closing and reopening the object
• Fixed issue where recalibration would not be performed after loading additional data without visiting the Calibration page
• Fixed issue where Meteo object .wpobject exports which referred to folders with a file mask would be saved in the project folder after re-imported, instead of the original file mask location
• Fixed issue where right clicking an averaged sample in a gun shot graph could cause an exception
• Fixed issue when clicking "Clear and load all" for >30 heights
• Fixed issue where all the min/max columns in the RSD verification tool were swapped
• Edited help text in "Merge wind speeds from 2 heights"
• Added message to reload data after changing calibrations
• Added ability to create a calibration period per import filter
• When unpacking a project export, Meteo data now points to the relative path of the current project location, instead of the original absolute path from where the project was exported from.
• Missing description

PARK

• Fixed error with wrong sign being used when defining asymmetrical no-RIX correction intervals
• Fixed issue where a warning message would sometimes not be shown when the selected temperature signal for curtailment evaluation had low availability
• Fixed issue where having too many curtailment criteria, the result-table in the report Production analysis would sometimes be hidden behind the charts.
• Fixed annoyance where various window labels would say "CFD area" or "WAsP", when using a .flowres file
• Fixed typo for reference of Forsting's paper on blockage. The reference year has been corrected to 2017
• Updated link to blockage description at main tab

Performance Check

• Fixed a typo in "User Error code setup"
• Added ability to view Load/Review tab for the "Error codes in time series" concept

PHOTOMONTAGE

• Fixed problem that Photomontage window sometimes freezes for short periods

RESOURCE

• RESOURCE no longer ask for coordinate system after rescaling
• Fixed issue with an error message in STATGEN "meteo object must be inside the CFD result area" by STATGEN calculation with WAsP CFD.
• A few bug-fixes in Resource-maps calibrations
• A few bug-fixes in Resource-maps calibrations
• A few bug-fixes in Resource-maps calibrations

SITE COMPLIANCE

• Fixed issue with incorrect WTG type in Details & assumptions report.
• When using siteres: Other checks Earthquake and Lightning rate are now enabled pr default. Temperature check disabled
• Hint added for reloading siteres files after changing design class or IEC edition
• Changed description for frequency table based Meteo data
• Added a warning when using checks based on energy weighted values, but there are sectors without energy.
• Updated link for lightning map

TR10

• Fixed error with incorrect gap-filling of production time series
• Fixed issue where windPRO could get stuck when using the feature "separate error codes"
• Fix in the correlation formula in the detailed method.
• Added a default file name when saving a report as PDF
• -
• -
• -

SHADOW

• Fixes issue where saving time series as result to file with many receptors could cause an exception
• Fixed issue where calculating SHADOW and deactivating line of sight could cause an exception
• Defining the lower left (C) coordinate of a window now result in the same coordinates as defining lower right (D) with the calculated coordinates from C
• Worst case WTG results now only appear on report if worst case calculation is selected in calculation properties

SketchUp Integration tool

• Fixed bug where the export would fail if exporting both "all visible objects" and "all selected objects" at the same time
• Fixed bug where selecting to export a wtg with a user-defined rotor angle would anyway be exported with a random rotor angle
• Fixed issue that SketchUp would not load after saving project to new folder.
• Small visual fix in CFD export window
• The wtg direction can now be entered

SOLAR PV

• Solar PV: Fixed error where the total design area would not be the sum of all areas, but instead just the size of the last area

ZVI

• Fixed issue in Radar Object where the user-defined Z value would be overridden by the TIN, even if TIN was deselected.
• The Radar altitude is now printed in the report

Awaiting test:

• PARK Fixed issue where the "Edit WAsP parameters" button in scaler setup would not turn yellow
• SICOM Missing description
