WindCast IQ combines WSI's best-in-class weather forecasting with Enva's knowledge of regional power market fundamentals to deliver the first wind generation forecasting service with the ISO-level coverage, unrivalled accuracy and farm-level granularity required by leading market participants. This unbeatable combination of meteorological and analytical expertise provides traders the necessary tools to make more informed decisions day in and day out.


wind generation forecasting with iso level coverage

WSI uses an intelligent blend of the most proficient weather models available to produce accurate predictions of the key meteorological parameters, at the all important turbine hub height, for any wind farm around the world. The parameters are then ingested into Enva’s state-of-the-art wind power model which leverages Enva’s unique understanding of the grid to account for non-meteorological factors such as congestion, maintenance, cut-outs and negative day ahead pricing which may prevent wind power from reaching the grid. The result is real-time wind speed and power forecasts, datafeeds, daily reports summarizing regional forecasts and risk factors, and monthly reports summarizing new builds and model forecasting performance via a secure, easy to understand web interface.
