Providing reliable wind power means understanding and managing wind variability.
Increasing consumer demand and aggressive renewable energy standards–coupled with reliability requirements and transmission constraints–make operating wind farms and integrating wind power a complex business.
With WindLogics tools and analysis, system operators plan for wind integration by quantifying the need for spinning reserve, predicting the impact of wind energy, and effectively planning for development of wind assets. Our groundbreaking work in wind energy integration has enabled utilities to become leaders in renewable energy project planning and addressing new Renewable Standards.
We work with electric utilities by assisting them in identifying promising corridors, appropriate sites and potential wind energy production. You can count on the accuracy of our detailed GIS-based wind speed and energy production maps, combining transmission data overlays and other critical decision support information to create a set of key planning tools.
WindLogics hour-ahead and day-ahead forecasting services provide electric utilities with the insight to efficiently dispatch wind energy assets–much like their other generation assets. Our advanced forecasting approach is based on our internally developed Computational Learning System technologies that continuously improve the wind energy forecast.
State-of-the-art decision support is essential for efficient renewable energy programs. To make successful wind integration a reality, contact WindLogics and learn how we can assist you in understanding and managing wind variability.
