ConWX participated at the Winterwind last month. This international wind energy conference gathers the world’s wind energy professionals every year to discuss the challenges of generating wind power in cold climates. Winterwind offers a three-day program filled with seminars, debates and networking events for a wide spectrum of energy players […]
In Europe, we are witnessing an encouraging trend: a year-on-year increase in the installation of renewable energy sources. Particularly noteworthy is solar energy, which has been surprising the energy market with high outputs right from the early days of spring. The surge in solar power typically drives prices down during
This past weekend, a high-pressure system over the continent brought warm and stable airflow from the south, resulting in record-high January temperatures in Scotland at 19.5 degrees. However, it also led to the formation of extraordinary wind wakes from German offshore wind farms in the North Sea. Captured by high-resolution

As a data scientist, I crave data and can not wait to put my hands on data modelling. However, the first thing that needs to be done is to clean the data. In this article, I would like to briefly introduce the data we face the most when modelling renewable

This year marks a significant milestone for ConWX as we celebrate our 15th anniversary. Over the past one and a half decades, we have grown from a two-man business into a global provider of a wide variety of advanced weather and energy forecasting services. We have earned a reputation for
At ConWX, we use multiple numerical weather predictions (NWP) data to calculate the optimal power forecasting for wind and solar. This is the industry standard, but our analysis also shows a very high value in choosing the right mix and having unique NWP input for power forecasting. The industry typically

This year marked a significant milestone for us, as we had the opportunity to join the China Wind Power (CWP) in Beijing, China. It was the first time we appeared on the exhibitor map, and visitors could stop by our ConWX stand. The China Wind Power (CWP) event, first held
Our machine learning (ML) icing forecasts have guided our clients through two winters, and now comes the third one. With close coordination with our clients and brilliant contributions from our team, we geared up our machine-learning icing models for this winter. When talking about data-driven icing forecasts, most people would
Recent temperature records from Copernicus ECMWF indicate a global warming trend that is accelerating, making it increasingly challenging to meet the Paris Agreement’s 1.5-degree Celsius target. October did set a new temperature record with 0.85 degrees above normal and in Europe 0.4 degrees above normal. As temperatures continue to rise,
