Weather Predictions for Enhancing Wind Farm Efficiency

Effective coordination in wind farm management is key to maximizing efficiency. Daily operations are greatly affected by changing weather conditions, making accurate weather forecasting essential for optimal resource management.

Capital Energy, a leading Spanish company in renewable energies, aimed to reduce weather-related impacts on its production operations and enhance maintenance procedures, key to prolonging the lifespan and efficiency of wind turbines.

Impact of Meteorology on Wind Farm Management

Since maintenance tasks on wind turbines involves temporarily stopping them, so knowing how and when the weather affects their performance is crucial. This allows maintenance to be scheduled during times of lower power output, avoiding disruptions during high-efficiency periods

To tackle this issue, Vexiza has provided Capital Energy with detailed reports on the expected performance for each wind turbine. To achieve so, we have developed an advanced algorithm that analyzes the wind farm’s past production, along with meteorological reanalysis data from that same period of up to 7 different variables.

Maximizing the Efficiency of Wind Farms

Our model has achieved a significant milestone by successfully explaining 75% of the variability in the energy production of each wind turbine (R² = 75%).  By estimating how much energy each turbine will produce over the next five days, we can ensure that every turbine is always running at its peak efficiency.

By adopting advanced weather forecasting solutions, the commitment to technological innovation by companies like Capital Energy demonstrates that sustainability and efficiency can go hand in hand to achieve a cleaner and more sustainable future.
