Wind Power Forecasting Software
Accurate Wind Farm Power Forecasting for Smarter Energy Management
Meteomatics' wind power forecasting software helps energy traders, grid operators and asset managers predict exactly when, where and how much power a wind farm will feed into the grid. Our wind farm power forecasting is customized to individual turbines, farms, regions, or virtual power plants and downscaled to 90 meters — delivering real-time forecasts for wind farms updated every 15 minutes to sharpen intraday and day-ahead trading. Customers report a 20% reduction in imbalance costs using our wind power prediction.

Wind Farm Power Forecasting for Grid and Market Optimization
Know when, where and how much wind energy will be fed into the grid. Our utility-scale wind power forecasts cover individual turbines, farms, regions, entire countries and virtual power plants — so you can optimize day-ahead and intraday trading positions and keep the grid balanced.
- Customized wind generation forecasts for single farms, regions, countries or virtual power plants
- Hyperlocal wind forecasts downscaled to 90 m
- Actionable inputs for intraday and day-ahead energy trading
How Meteomatics Forecasts Wind Power
Wind power forecasting turns high-resolution weather prediction into an expected electricity output for a wind asset. Meteomatics combines high-resolution numerical weather models — including our own EURO1k and US1k — with live plant data and site-specific machine learning to convert forecast wind speed at hub height into turbine- and farm-level generation.
Asset-, farm-, portfolio- and country-level wind power prediction tailored to your fleet
How it works
- Weather layer. Forecast wind speed, direction and gusts at hub height, downscaled to 90 m.
- Plant model. Meteorologists train a model on your farm's history and turbine config (rotor diameter, hub height, turbine type).
- Live refinement. We ingest your plant's real-time data to continuously refine the wind power forecast.
- Delivery. Updated forecasts delivered every 15 minutes via SFTP in your chosen format.
Power production for different aggregation levels (entire farms, regions or countries), flexible output units (kW, Mw, kWh, MWh), temporal resolution up to 15 minutes, forecast update frequency 15 minutes, completely flexible delivery format (CSV, JSON, etc).

Frequently Asked Questions
Wind power forecasting software predicts how much electricity a wind farm will generate over a given horizon by converting high-resolution weather forecasts — chiefly wind speed at hub height — into expected power output. It combines numerical weather models, turbine specifications and machine learning trained on each site's behaviour. Meteomatics delivers this as a fully managed service run by our energy meteorologists and via the Weather API, giving trading, dispatch and grid teams a single source for turbine-, farm- and portfolio-level wind power prediction.
Yes. We provide both day-ahead and intraday wind power forecasts, refreshed every 15 minutes so your positions reflect the latest conditions. Day-ahead forecasts support market bidding and scheduling, while intraday updates help you rebalance as the weather evolves and reduce imbalance costs.
Yes. We forecast at any aggregation level — a single turbine, an entire wind farm, a region, a whole country, or a virtual power plant spanning multiple assets. Portfolio- and country-level wind farm power forecasting is widely used by traders and grid operators who need a consolidated view of expected generation, while asset-level forecasts drive on-site operations and maintenance planning.
Real-time forecasts for wind farms are delivered continuously via secure SFTP data feed, or on demand through the Weather API. Forecasts update every 15 minutes at native temporal resolutions down to 15 minutes, in the units you work in (kW, MW, kWh, MWh) and the formats your systems expect (CSV, JSON and others) — so they drop straight into your trading, dispatch or analytics tools with no manual handling.
Our wind power prediction is powered by high-resolution numerical weather models — including our own EURO1k (Europe) and US1k (United States) at up to 90 m downscaling — alongside 100+ weather models and sources accessible through the Weather API. We forecast wind speed, direction and gusts at hub height plus air density and icing conditions, then refine the output with your plant's live production data to sharpen accuracy over time.
Both are available, and the right choice depends on your team. The Weather API suits data engineers and quantitative analysts who want to pull wind parameters and build or refine their own models. The fully managed wind farm forecasting software service suits teams that would rather have our energy meteorologists build, train and continuously tune site-specific models for them. Many customers use both — the managed feed for production forecasts and the API for custom analysis.
