WindPRO integrates 3TIER wind data

3TIER has announced that WindPRO will integrate with 3TIER’s renewable energy information platform seamlessly within the interface, to deliver access to global wind reference time-series data. 3TIER’s dataset will enable wind project planners to perform more ‘bankable’ wind resource assessments and increase their chances of securing project financing. 3TIER’s data integrates the advantages of numerical weather prediction (NWP) modelling into both WindPRO, and the industry-standard process of Measure–Correlate–Predict (MCP). EMD International A/S, developer and distributor of WindPRO, conducted its own validation studies of 3TIER’s Reference Wind Time-Series prior to deciding to integrate the data offering into its software. The studies were performed in different regions of the world where EMD had access to reliable, long-term wind measurements from tall towers.
