Wind Forecast Improvement Project Saves Millions for Utilities
Regional wind data from around the U.S. helps improve a national weather forecasting model, which allows utility companies better plan for windy days.

In an “abnormal” departure from the normal procedure, MIT researchers have developed a quicker, more accurate system for siting wind farms.
BM has long been known for building some of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, but what happens when it applies advanced modeling to solving the intermittency of renewable energy?
The answer is “Hybrid Renewable Energy Forecasting,” a new technology already online in China that produces accurate local weather and renewable energy forecasts as far as one month in advance, down to 15-minute increments.
Wind power has great potential as a form of renewable energy, but in order to really efficiently produce it, turbines need to be optimally positioned and dimensioned. A newly designed 200-meter high wind measuring mast that delivers precise data will be able to help with that, by very accurately forecasting energy yields […]
