In the power industry, the model produces more and more interest, especially for the automation of the air conditioning of large buildings, for the forecast of electricity and gas consumption, or for the optimal operation of water reservoirs. Typical forecast parameters for the power industry are temperature, global irradiation, precipitation, and wind. At locations of the automatic observation network of MeteoSwiss, the systematic model biases of temperature and humidity at 2m above ground are corrected by means of a Kalman filter.

The weather dependency of the different customers is very diverse. With a detailed analysis, the economic benefit of our forecasts for our customers can be determined and optimized individually. Our specialists are happy to provide you with further information.
