There's more to achieving a site's potential than just putting up turbines and hoping for the best. WINData's expertise and high fidelity data, have been employed since 2007 to help wind plant operations become more of an exact science that can be optimized for each plants's site characteristics. Proper on and off-site sensor array design, combines with state of the art forecast models to help your wind assets perform progressinvely closer to their peak potential and gives you the best return on your investment possible.

WINData installs on-site permanent met towers and off site sensor arrays for use in wind forecasting, plant operations and energy scheduling. Combining real met data from remote locations around the wind plant allows operators to get a critical preview of the weather that is heading toward the farm. This allows them to participate more effectively in their respective markets and also reduce the impact of short term forecast error and unexpected ramp event on the production of power at the plant.

WINData's real-time data is collected and stored alongside the plant's SCADA data in an OSIsoft PI server and can be quiried and used in more sophisticated RUC forecasting models, thus insuring greater accuracy and advanced warning about pending weather patterns.
