Unrivalled depth of data meets complex analysis Forecast accuracy is driven by scale and depth of data. Historical site-specific meteorological data is processed through multiple weather models to build the best possible meteorological history for the area of interest. This is combined with historical power production collected from each individual turbine. Advanced statistical methods are then used to identify complex patterns between the meteorological conditions at site and single turbine power production, under the given conditions. These patterns are converted by a tailored model selection that calculates the future power production for an individual turbine, an entire wind park or a combined wind energy portfolio.
