WindSight - Premium Data Layers by DHI GRAS
Introduction
To use satellite-based data in the wind-energy flow modelling chains and to integrate those data into wind-energy yield assessments. That was one of the goal of the InnoWind project that took place during years 2017-2020 and where EMD International A/S formed a project partnership with the Technical University of Denmark, DHI-GRAS, Vestas and Vattenfall, see more at www.innowind.dk. The project was finalized in spring 2020 with a lot of fast-track data-products derived from satellite and remote sensing missions being available directly in windPRO, see our dedicated InnoWind wiki page. During the project, DHI-GRAS has developed its DHI-GRAS InnoWind Premium Data Service. This service allows DHI-GRAS to deliver data-layers of forest-height, land-cover and leaf-area-index in 20m resolution – based on Sentinel 1 and Sentinel 2 source data - with data layers being derived using machine-learning algorithms. These data are easily read with windPRO – as they are typically delivered in geotiff-format. Users that is interested in this products may contact DHI-GRAS for further details, see www.dhi-gras.com.
Premium Data Samples
Two packages of premium sample data are available for WAsP and windPRO users, one is for the area around the DTU Risø campus and the other from the Danish National Test Station at Østerild.
