Whiffle services

Increase the value of your wind farm with our precision weather model. Whiffle’s ultra-high resolution atmospheric model, based on Large Eddy Simulation (LES), is ideally suited for wind energy applications. The model accurately captures local weather and flow phenomena impacting the wind energy production of wind turbines such as global blockage effects, internal and external wake effects, land-sea interaction, vegetation, obstacles, orography and many more. The model is therefore the perfect technology for wind power forecasts or wind resource assessments.

Increase the value of your solar farm with our precision weather model. Whiffle’s technology is ideally suited for solar energy applications. The power production of solar panels mainly depends on solar irradiance, the power per unit area received from the Sun. Part of the incoming solar radiation is reflected into space due to the atmosphere and mostly by clouds. On a cloudy day, a significant amount of solar irradiance is reflected. Forecasting solar power production therefore depends on the ability to forecast clouds. Whiffle’s cloud resolving atmospheric model can accurately capture local clouds in all their varieties, including stratocumulus. Coupled to detailed calculations of the solar radiation, our technology produces realistic forecasts of solar irradiance at unprecedented resolution.
