3TIER applies cutting edge science and robust super-computing capabilities to solve the problem of wind variability. Our Regional Wind Forecast is designed to give energy traders, schedulers, and asset managers the critical information they need to reduce risk and make day-to-day financial and operational decisions with confidence. Our hour, day, and week-ahead forecasts enable you to bid into forward markets and proactively manage your assets based on scientifically supported predictions rather than reacting to real time constraints.
Take advantage of 3TIER's unparalleled experience in wind energy forecasting with an aggregate wind speed and power forecast based on the latest in numerical weather prediction modeling and statistical correction. Because we believe in transparency and stand by our accuracy, we include advanced verification tools showing our forecast against actual observations for various horizon times and project variables. These tools allow the user to evaluate exactly how our forecasts are performing, risk-adjust transactions, and access an unprecedented amount of historical forecast data. Delivered via a dynamic dashboard interface, forecast information is presented both as an at-a-glance graphic and in downloadable data files. These files can also be directly integrated with your internal software through our API.
Select up to 9 sub-regions customized to the specific demands of your work and see forecasts for each individual sub-region. With 3TIER's Aggregator Tool, you can also directly impact the forecast with your knowledge of outages and transmission constraints. Easily turn specific projects or even entire sub-regions 'on or off' to perform advanced scenario analysis and download the results for further examination.
Forecasts include hourly values for aggregate power in megawatts, generating capacity by percentage, and aggregated capacity-weighted wind speed.
Forecasting tools are delivered via a client-specific, dashboard interface. Downloadable data files are provided in a comma-separated value (CSV) format to allow easy integration with your own internal systems.
Aligned with 3TIER's commitment to using state-of-the-art, proven, and transparent methods, our regional wind forecast system is a combination of publicly available global and regional weather forecasts, high resolution surface data, and highly customized mesoscale numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. The result is an aggregate wind speed forecast converted into real world values of hourly power generation in megawatts using asset-specific manufacturer power curve data. Where aggregate power data is publicly available, 3TIER will incorporate observations to deliver statistically corrected power forecasts.
In order to provide regional wind power forecasting, 3TIER only requires you to select your region of interest and provide sub-region geographic boundary specifications or wind project lists.
