The Global Microcasting Service offers several brand new products
designed to meet specific needs within the wind industry.
 |
GMS MICROCAST is the base for each GMS forecast package. GMS
offers the world’s most precise, detailed weather forecast based on a
two step 6 km / 1 km model resolution - hourly forecasts for a 5 day
period!
Weather Central’s proprietary MicroCast hyper local forecast solution
offers unrivalled precision due to unique boundary layer focus. As an
exclusive feature, forecasts at various levels above the ground can be
extracted directly from the model without additional interpolation.
This enables the system to simulate all possible atmospheric stability
effects such as nightly decoupling within the boundary layer.
GMS MICROCAST provides an easy to read, browser based intuitive
graphical interface.
GMS MICROCAST is the ideal choice as a stand alone solution for the
efficient planning of wind farm maintenance!

The GMS FARM YIELD CONNECTOR transforms the already
turbine-specific GMS MICROCAST wind forecast to a yield forecast for
your wind farm. GMS FARM YIELD CONNECTOR determines the wind conditions
at hub height for your specific turbine model and incorporates wake
effects into the calculations. GMS FARM YIELD CONNECTOR delivers an
unparalleled response to intra-hourly wind variations within a wind
farm as well as an hourly-precise air density power curve correction
for each individual turbine position.
GMS FARM YIELD CONNERCTOR offers a detailed yield forecast for your
wind farm on an individual turbine basis, and combined as a summary
yield estimate. Forecast data is presented in a colourful and intuitive
browser based interface – GMS WIND FARM MONITOR - developed by AL-PRO.

GMS SMART LEARNING is – as well as GMS MICROCOUPLING – THE
unique feature of the GLOBAL MICROCASTING SERVICE packages.
GMS SMART LEARNING is based on a complex system of neural networks that
“learn” from forecast deviations and corrects them automatically. As
opposed to common statistical correction methods, GMS SMART LEARNING is
able to read complex weather situations and generate site specific
corrected weather forecasts. This can also include forecast adaptations
to delay or speed up the timing of frontal systems as they pass through
the site. Typically run after 1, 2 and 6 months of recorded forecast
and observed data is available. Pre training is now available to fine
tune your forecast at time 0.
GMS SMART LEARNING changes a good forecast to a unique weather analysis
of your site!

GMS SMART LEARNING PRE TRAINING offers you the ability to start
your GMS forecast today with a pre-trained GMS SMART LEARNING System.
Using existing wind or yield observations, historical weather forecasts
are simulated prior to the desired starting date of your GMS forecast.
The GMS SMART LEARNING system is then trained on these simulations, so
the required correction algorithms are ready for your GMS forecast.
PRE TRAINING offers the precision of a GMS SMART LEARNING system right
from the beginning!

GMS MICROCOUPLING is the first and only global operational
system that couples a meso scale weather model with a CFD flow
simulation. GMS MICROCOUPLING delivers unparalleled response to micro
scale wind variations in complex terrain situations. In complex terrain
situations such as mountainous sites, incredible forecast resolutions
as fine as 20 m or finer can be achieved.

GMS MAIL ALERTING offers e-mail notification if the forecast
exceeds previously configured threshold values. Alerting can be as
simple or complex as required with several escalation levels with
various thresholds and forecast lead times with different recipient
groups being possible.
GMS MAIL ALERTING, the ultimate in monitoring convenience!
