Danish Windindex Data

Wind Index Regions in Denmark: Data from April 2013.

The Danish Wind Index Data is a wind turbine production index that is developed and maintained by EMD International A/S.

The Windindex data is imported and utilized in the WCP (Windindex Corrected Production) section of the Performance Check module.

The data originates from http://www.vindstat.dk/ and is updated on a monthly basis.

License

You will need a license to the Danish WTG Catalogue (Existing Turbines in Denmark) in order to use this feature. Prices are found here: http://www.emd.dk/WindPRO/Price%20List/

Data Examples in the WindPRO Performance Check

An example of the windindex data is displayed in the figure below. The data is split into regions, of which there are currently 11 in Denmark.

Method for Calculating the WCP

Using the WCP is very convenient when comparing actual production data against calculated production. EMD has made a small memo that describes the method used when removing erroneous data and correcting for differencens in wind indes. The memo is available here:
