FORESITE

ForeSite is a forecasting service for wind farms, providing a site specific energy forecast for any wind farm worldwide on a daily or hourly basis. Wind Farm owners now have the ability to address trading / dispatch risks and to optimise downtime scheduling.

We deliver ForeSite services in exclusive partnership with meteoblue^®, one of the world’s leading independent forecasters, who operate their own global weather model which has proven to consistently deliver top quality forecasts for any location across five continents. The resolution of the meteorological model over regions of interest typically exeeds that of the local meteorological service, and has a longer prediction horizon, thereby providing a uniquely powerful forecast. This best-of-breed meteorological forecasting is merged with Natural Power’s industry-leading practical wind farm consulting and management services, bringing knowledge from the ground up to improve the accuracy and relevance of forecasts for individual wind farm sites.

ForeSite forecasts can be offered on a daily or hourly basis. Hourly forecasts give the expected instantaneous production of the wind farm from 6 hours up to 7 days ahead as required. Daily forecasts give the total expected energy production of the wind farm for the complete day following the day in which the forecast is made, up to 7 days ahead, as required. ForeSite provides forecasts in BASIC, STANDARD or ADVANCED.
