webfarmerI know there has been a lot of work with neural nets and other sophisticated software to help utilities better predict wind power production but this seems like a major break through. This is a big deal because predictable wind power means more valuable wind power to the utility. No costly surprises of over- or under-supply.
Software Predicts Electricity Output for Wind - Renewable Energy World - 11 Aug 08
"Thanks to a new system developed by a German university spin-off, it's now possible to obtain an accurate forecast of the energy output from wind parks for up to ten days in advance.
The Previento system, developed at Oldenburg University in northern Germany in cooperation with researchers from Denmark's Riso National Laboratory, can predict not only how much electricity a specific wind park in Germany will produce but also the total amount of electricity the 20,000 or so wind parks dotted around the country will generate in the coming days and with a high level of accuracy."
