Whiffle

Official Resource Assessment Partner

Whiffle is the leading provider of ultra-high-resolution weather data, employing Large Eddy Simulation (LES) technology. In the Wind Energy sector, our state-of-the-art LES model is a game-changer, integrating comprehensive weather and environmental data, turbine specifications, and obstacle information. This integration offers unparalleled insights into every aspect of your wind project, including Wind Resource and Yield Assessments that cover turbulence, wakes, and blockage effects. Our technology is instrumental in optimizing wind farm site selection and layout, playing a crucial role in accurately predicting future energy yield and reducing financial costs. For this offering, our model is accessible via a user-friendly web application or through our professional consultancy services, ensuring our clients can harness the full potential of our technology. 

When it comes to wind power forecasting, both day-ahead and intraday, we leverage the strength of our LES model along with the latest developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning. This powerful combination ensures unmatched accuracy and precision, which in turn, diminishes financial risks such as grid imbalance and reduces operational costs for energy companies.

The operational capacity of our weather model is expanded using graphics processing units (GPUs), which enable the analysis of large areas at high resolutions—down to tens of meters—to capture local turbulence and detailed atmospheric conditions. Although our technology extends its benefits across various economic sectors, our primary focus is on fortifying the renewable energy market, particularly wind and solar energy sectors, by increasing the predictability of sustainable energy production and reducing the financial impact of weather-related risks.

The HIPERWIND project aims at achieving a 9% reduction in the Levelized Cost of Energy of offshore wind farms, through advancements of basic wind energy science which will lead to reductions in risk and uncertainty. This is achieved by incorporating uncertainty information throughout the entire wind turbine and wind farm modelling chain, from environmental conditions to reliability and cost of energy. The outcome is cost efficient offshore wind through a reduction in unnecessary use of materials, less unscheduled maintenance, and optimized operating strategy tailored at delivering power with high market value.

European operator of a lightning detection network, Meteorage provides professionals with lightning risk prevention services.

With more than 130 strategically located sensors in Europe, monitored 24/7, Meteorage ensures an optimal coverage of the zone.

Meteorage supports customers in Europe and internationally and helps users to manage and monitor their operations before, during and after thunderstorms. Their solutions do not require any installation or maintenance for users, and allows them to cover all levels of lightning risks, with the possibility of:

  • being alerted of the arrival of a storm on their site
  • visualizing and following the lightning activity in real time, on 1 or more geolocated sites, and the representation of storm cells
  • realizing reports following a stormy episode
  • integrating lightning data to their own tools (such as SCADA)

The unmatched efficiency of Meteorage network, proven by several recognized scientifical studies, enables the company to provide some high-level services throughout Europe.

Meteorage detects more than 98% of lightning flashes in Europe with a median location accuracy of 100 meters. Outside Europe, the company provide the same solutions using the GLD360 network.
