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.
