Weather Solutions provides energy traders, generators and grid operators with the most accurate weather data to optimize processes and operate efficiently.
Weather analyses for the energy industry
Reliable and highly accurate weather information are imperative for day-to-day operations across the energy sector. Precise knowledge of the short-, medium- and long-term course of weather conditions is a decisive competitive advantage and knowledge edge in energy trading and risk management.
Weather Solutions provides weather services for the entire life cycle of on- and offshore wind and solar projects and delivers reliable weather data effecting the energy production processes.
Our forecasts and data contribute towards:
- reduced imbalance charges and penalties
- increasing revenue on both wind/solar park and portfolio level
- ensuring supply security and maintenance of grid stability at any time
- competitive advantage in real time and ‘day ahead’ energy market trading
- improved worker safety

Data delivery
Weather Solutions for the energy industry
Forecasts and observations
We deliver all weather key parameters for the energy sector including but not limited to temperature, global radiation and air pressure.
We generate forecast data for standard weather stations as well as for virtual stations.
Historical weather data
Historical data is utilised in the preparation of algorithms to improve energy production or to periodically optimize it. This data is also used to prepare expert opinions on the suitability of wind and solar plants for the location.
Weather Solutions has a large database that contains all key meteorological parameters for energy sector available for many standard weather stations in Europe and selected stations globally. Availability depends on the quality and stored observations in our database.
Hub-height wind forecasts
The progressive technical development of wind energy leads to a variation of the hub height from 60 to 200 m. Therefore wind farm operators need to know what kind of wind can be expected at different hub-heights.
Weather Solutions provides hub-height wind data (wind speed and direction) between 60 and 200 m height. All weather parameters effecting the wind power production are available for individual wind turbines or specific locations.
Solar forecasts
Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, mostly using photovoltaics (PV).
Weather Solutions provides weather data which is necessary for solar power calculations. Key parameters for solar power are integrated global radiation, absolute and effective cloud cover, sunshine duration.
