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 reported by users. Thanks to all for submitting feedback.

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 importing coordinates from a GPX file would not allow deleting individual points
• Fixed issue where multi-editing Shadow receptors would not properly save changes for receptor's slope
• 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
• -
• -

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

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

RESOURCE

• RESOURCE no longer ask for coordinate system after rescaling
• A few bug-fixes in Resource-maps calibrations
• A few bug-fixes in Resource-maps calibrations
• A few bug-fixes in Resource-maps calibrations

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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
• -

• -

HYBRID

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

MISCELLANEOUS

• 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
• STATGEN: Fixed issue with an error message "meteo object must be inside the CFD result area" by STATGEN calculation with WAsP CFD.
• Optimize: It is no longer required to have a MODEL license to use the optimizer
• Performance Check: Fixed a typo in "User Error code setup"
