Who We Serve > Utilities & System Operators
Aggressive renewable energy standards are ensuring a rapid increase in the number and size of wind plants queuing up to connect to the gird.
Today, significant value is lost from the power produced by wind plants due to the disconnect that currently exists between forecast vendors and forecast users. Expanding on our platform of state-of-the-art forecasting technology, Precision Wind takes a client-centered, consultative approach to forecast service delivery.
In addition to our team of leading research and development scientists, we have another critically important team of engineers: the Precision Wind Client Service Team. Led by a Client Service Manager, the consulting service team is experienced in scheduling variable generation, and is comprised of IT system integrators, meteorologists, and consulting engineers.
Each of our utility and system operator clients is served by a Client Service Manager who works side-by-side with both schedulers and management to develop protocols and procedures that remove much of the informal, guess-work that makes load balancing and grid management vary from one scheduler to another.
