kedx3mmn Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Okay, I am not sure if I got the concept right.Generally people use both WAsP and WindPro to run the energy simulation.I have been using WAsP - only. I used WAsP to download DEMs of SRTM. The only problem is the Map is not as comprehensive as it would be when you use both WindPro and WAsP.My doubt is, is it must to use both WindPro and WAsP to run the simulations? Will it give more accurate results. Or WindPro just enables some comprehensive maps.PS: I am sorry if you do not understand what I am trying to say. English is my 2nd language.
Ole Rathmann Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Hi - first: You can certainly make 1st class wind energy simulations using WAsP alone. Windpro is a different piece of Wind Resource software - but it uses the WAsP flow model as its modeling engine. Both softwares have automated facilities to get topographical maps from SRTM. The difference may be regarding the latest, high-resolution versions of the SRTM maps: in WAsP we have not yet upgraded the automated SRTM import facility to also include the latest high-resolution versions of SRTM-maps - but we will in the near future.
