IBM has announced a power and weather modelling
technology that will help utilities increase the reliability of renewable
energy resources. The solution combines weather prediction and analytics to
accurately forecast the availability of wind power and solar energy.
Jibei Electricity Power Company Limited—a subsidiary company of the State Grid Corporation of China is the first client to use this software. It hopes to increase the integration of renewable power generation by 10%.

Jibei Electricity Power Company Limited—a subsidiary company of the State Grid Corporation of China is the first client to use this software. It hopes to increase the integration of renewable power generation by 10%.
The solution, named "Hybrid
Renewable Energy Forecasting" (HyRef) uses weather modeling capabilities,
cloud imaging technology and sky-facing cameras to track cloud movements, while
sensors on the turbines monitor wind speed, temperature and direction. When
combined with analytics technology, the data-assimilation based solution can
produce accurate local weather forecasts within a wind farm as far as one month
in advance, or in 15-minute increments. read more..
