Increase the value of your wind farm with our precision weather model
Whiffle’s ultra-high resolution atmospheric model, based on Large Eddy Simulation (LES), is ideally suited for wind energy applications. The model accurately captures local weather and flow phenomena impacting the wind energy production of wind turbines such as global blockage effects, internal and external wake effects, land-sea interaction, vegetation, obstacles, orography and many more. The model is therefore the perfect technology for wind power forecasts or wind resource assessments.
Forecasting
Lowering imbalance risks
Our innovative weather model enables wind energy production that is more predictable and therefore benefits customers in the wind energy value chain. The model can predict any meteorological variable at unmatched resolution, including power production on turbine level. Next to Whiffle’s model, different numerical weather prediction models and measurements can be utilized to produce short-term weather- and power production forecasts.
For whom?
Whiffle’s ultra-high resolution atmospheric modelling capabilities are of direct value to energy traders, utilities, TSOs, DSOs, operators and owners in the wind energy value chain. Value is also offered by delivering our services through specialized weather companies and power forecasting service providers.
Wind resource assessments
Precise yields and lower financing costs
Wind resource assessments are of importance during the development and operation of wind farms to assess the local climate and annual energy production. Improved atmospheric modelling therefore directly benefits reduced uncertainty in the annual energy production, improved layout optimisation and an enhanced understanding of the local wind climate. Whiffle’s technology is perfectly suited to simulate long timeseries of any meteorological variable at unmatched resolution, including power production on turbine level. Output can be delivered at different heights for turbines, virtual metmasts and/or slices of the simulation domain. This is all easily accessible through our user-friendly API.
For whom?
Whiffle’s ultra-high resolution atmospheric modelling capabilities are of direct value to project developers, manufacturers, utilities, consultants, operators and owners in the wind energy value chain. Value is also offered by delivering our technology through value added resellers.
