4Cast Presents Automated Long-term Wind Farm Yield Forecasts at WindEnergy Hamburg

Potsdam - The company 4Cast GmbH & Co. KG, a provider of forecasting technologies for the wind industry, is presenting the latest developments in the field of automated long-term yield forecasts at the WindEnergy Hamburg trade fair.

In the rapidly developing wind energy industry, precise forecasts and efficient planning are crucial for the success of a wind farm project, according to 4Cast. 4cast Horizon's long-term forecasts enable a fast and accurate assessment of potential sites and scenarios.

The efficiency and reliability of the system is based on the consideration of various loss factors such as shading and parking effects. As a result, net energy yields are simulated based on meteorological and physical standards for planned locations and system configurations, based on sound research findings.

“At 4cast, we believe that automated forecasting technologies are the key to mastering the challenges of the wind energy industry. With 4cast Horizon, we are setting new standards in terms of efficiency, enabling our customers to make projects more successful and sustainable.” Sascha Bauer, CEO 4cast.
