Long-range power forecasts for wind and solar farms
Reduce risk with monthly and yearly energy forecasts
Set your energy generation budget with confidence
How much of last month’s departure from expected production was caused by the weather? What should you expect to happen next month? Next quarter? Using advanced machine learning and data science, Xweather provides an independent monthly assessment of the weather's impact on your wind and solar project portfolio. Use these tools to set annual energy generation budgets, produce monthly operating reports, and determine the causes of under- or over-performance.
Operational reforecasting
An operational reforecast reduces error in future generation estimates obtained from pre-construction reports and operational production data. Calibrated monthly expectations help you meet your PPA obligations and regulatory requirements by guiding monthly and annual energy budget setting and intra-year updates.
Seasonal outlook
A 12-month seasonal outlook report predicts departures from normal expected production due to the effects of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation and other cyclic climate phenomena.
Performance reconciliation
Do you struggle to pinpoint the causes of over- or underperformance? An independent assessment can help you isolate the impact of resource fluctuations on last month's production. A performance reconciliation report explains energy deviations by accounting for the effects of weather, project availability, and power conversion efficiency.
Wind and solar irradiance anomalies
Drawing on more than 40 years of historical wind, solar, and temperature data, the Xweather Climate Reference Tool shows departures from the long-term average for the last month, quarter, and year, helping you account for anomalies in project performance.
