GE Energy and WSI Corporation are joining forces to launch more accurate forecasting tools for wind farm owner/operators and transmission / distribution providers.
In its alliance with GE Energy, WSI will build upon its existing wind
power and wind speed forecast capabilities to develop technology that
provides more accurate forecasts for the wind power industry. The
improved accuracy can assist in optimisation of turbine performance,
power production planning and wind energy transmission integration. As
part of the alliance, WSI and GE Energy will develop technology to
collect real-time turbine and wind data, incorporate this data into
proprietary forecast models, and provide customized forecast and
operational guidance services.
