Products For Power Production Brochure

www.smhi.comFORECAST FOR WIND PRODUCTIONSuccess for wind power producers is linked to accurate wind production forecasts in the short term. Reliable knowledge of the amount of energy your wind turbines and parks will produce is of vital importance. SMHI Wind is an advanced product developed by SMHI scientists in collaboration with wind energy producers.SMHI Wind will tell you how much electricity your wind turbines will produce for each individual wind turbine as well as your total production. Calculations are made for each hour today and tomorrow, and for every six hours on the two subsequent days. SMHI Wind also displays summarised 24-hour values for all four days, both in kWh and as a percentage of installed capacity. SMHI Wind is updated four times a day.SMHI Wind is based on a high-resolution model and calculates the power production for each individual wind turbine. It takes into account the geography and the power curve of the wind turbine for different wind speeds. The forecasts are also adjusted against the actual outcome from your wind turbines, thereby enriching the system continuously. This statistically optimal met-hod called Kalman filtering improves the forecast further.SMHI Wind currently provides production forecasts for over 300 wind turbines. The product has high relia-bility and we have good references. Contact us to get in touch with our reference customers, or if you want to see verification of product performance.SMHI WIND HELPS YOU?
