WeatherFlow has been focused on the wind for over 20 years and is currently applying that expertise to the rapidly expanding wind energy sector, where our real world experience in observing, reporting, and forecasting the wind provides a critical capability to our wind energy partners and clients.
The variability of the wind represents the single largest challenge in the wind energy industry today. Because the speed of the wind is fluctuating almost constantly, energy generated by wind farms must be constantly balanced and re-balanced with other power generation sources. The key to that balancing act is to know how the wind is going to behave, and no one observes and understands how the wind changes – over scales from minutes to decades – like WeatherFlow..
