Weather and Power forecasting

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

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

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,

It is the beginning of October and icing season for areas with cold climates has begun. For this week NWP models are forecasting snow depth rising to 35 cm in Norway and Sweden, with a higher chance of possible icing events. Icing is a significant weather phenomenon that can have

In the realm of meteorology, do weather models adapt to climate changes? At ConWX we rely significantly on high-quality weather model data to fuel our forecasting algorithms, which drive our advanced machine-learning processes for both Day-Ahead Hourly (DAH) and Intraday (ID) predictions. Coupled with our clients’ data, this synergy enables us to

The installed capacity of offshore wind is now 29 GW and the expected growth in wind power will mainly be offshore. The expectations are that Europe will reach 160 GW installed capacity by 2030 according to forecast from WindEurope. Alone in Denmark the planned Energy Island with up to 40
