What types of wind and solar data are available?

DNV Renewables provides over 40 climate datasets including: Mesoscale wind data (global and regional), Solar irradiance (GHI, DNI, DHI), Reanalysis datasets (ERA5, MERRA-2), Global wind energy atlas, Temperature, pressure, humidity, and more. Data covers onshore and offshore locations worldwide with time series from 1980s to present.

How do I get an API token for DNV Renewables?

Visit the DNV Renewables platform and contact your DNV account manager or visit the EMD/DNV Renewables website to request API access. Once your account is provisioned, you'll receive an API access token from your account dashboard. This token authenticates your requests and is linked to your subscription plan.

How does the data ordering process work?

The data ordering process is: 1) Check availability for your location, 2) Place an order with dataset, coordinates, and time period, 3) Wait ~30 seconds for processing, 4) Check order status until 'success', 5) Download the generated time series file. Note: Download links expire after 12 hours, so download promptly. Rate limit is 10 orders per 10 minutes.

What is mesoscale climate data and why is it useful?

Mesoscale climate data comes from numerical weather prediction models that simulate atmospheric conditions at regional scales (typically 1-50 km resolution). Unlike single-point measurements, mesoscale data provides spatially consistent, long-term time series essential for renewable energy resource assessment. It's used for wind farm siting, solar project planning, and long-term energy yield analysis because it captures multi-decadal climate patterns that short-term measurements miss.
