Wind Farm Forecast

Forecast of the wind power feed-in for wind farms and standalone wind power plants worldwide

Forecast for direct marketing

Our Wind Farm Forecast provides hourly and daily mean information on wind power, wind speed and direction for up to 6.5 days (24h–156h) in advance, thus supplying expected values for the wind power production by wind farms and standalone wind power plants worldwide.

Your benefits from the Wind Farm Forecast

  • High predictability of the power production
  • Tool for effective management: maintenance work can be postponed to take advantage of high-yield strong winds
  • Information tool for direct marketing of wind power


Our standard data processing

The spatial aggregation is performed by using a downscaling procedure with a resolution of 1km x 1km, the temporal aggregation is based on hourly or daily mean values. Site-specific features, the thermal stratification of the atmosphere or the roughness length in relation to land use and orography are calculated individually for each wind farm site. The forecast accuracy is improved by statistical correction methods and by incorporating wind farm-specific live power generation data provided by the customer.

EWC uses the following database

The Wind Farm Forecast is based on GFS (Global Forecast System) data, measurements from wind power plants and operator databases. Periods of low and high wind are taken into consideration by means of the specific cut-in and cut-out wind speeds resulting via the power curve.
