The document describes the new features of meteodyn WT 5.0 software. Key new features include the ability to define vertical wind profiles, automatically generate profiles at turbine locations, and define new synthesis configurations to add or remove result points and turbines. The software also includes improvements to the land cover database and processing status window.

1. Installation
Read carefully each window of the installation process
If you have a previous version of meteodyn WT :
-Install the executable on a new folder
-Install the Data folder in a new location
-Run the migration *
-There is an automatic BACKUP if a project does not migrate correctly
-The PWX file is then stored in the BACKUP folder to be used in a previous version of meteodyn WT
New data model inside the software from meteodyn WT  Your former projects need to migrate

WIND RESOURCE ASSESSMENT Methodology
Pre-processing
•Site definition (orography, roughness, turbines location, met mast, …. )
•Site verification
Directional computations
•Mesh generation taking into account elevation and roughness 3D modeling
•Boundary conditions
Directional results
•Directional wind characteristics
Synthesis
•Meteorological data processing
•Wake effect computation
•IEC indicators computation (turbulence, angle, …)
Post processing
•AEP with / without wake effect
•Directional wind shear at each turbine
•Wind and turbulence matrices at each turbine
•IEC standards site suitability indicators
Modification New layout?

3. New synthesis
Define your synthesis as you usually do
The user can:
-Load an existing configuration of result points
-Create a new configuration
-Save a configuration
Results will be available only at the result points defines in the layout configuration part
-Define your climatology (mast, remote sensor or meso cell)
-Define your turbine characteristics
-Eventually, compute extreme wind speed

3. New synthesis
Requirements:
-The project must contain at least one mapping
-User can add points anywhere on the mapping area (not depending of the height except in wind atlas mode)

3. New synthesis
When you add some points in the display mode, then, you will have to validate your choice in the “entity selection” window.
You can add several turbines at the same location (x,y). A test is done when you click on “validate” to check that only one turbine (height) is activated.
Synthesis with new / deleted points are easily identified

3. New synthesis
•Site of origin. If points have been added during a synthesis, they are not visible in this window.
Site window
•In the display window, the user can select the points configuration to be displayed.
Site display
•CFD results are available for all the points (points od origin + added points of any synthesis)
CFD results
•Results are available only at results points of the synthesis configuration
Synthesis results / display results
•Results in the report are depending of the access to this feature
Automatic report

4. Other improvements
Other improvements (non exhaustive list):
 New land cover database in the database available from the interface: NLCD2011
In the “processing in progress” window, date has been added
For the Client version option, the control on the server can now be down with a licence file only ( usb dongle is not more mandatory)
