Metra has for many years provided weather forecast solutions in the following areas:

Combined Cycle & Thermal Stations

Power output is dependent on ambient weather conditions. With temperature, atmospheric pressure and humidity directly affecting output, reliable weather information can reduce potential penalties caused by not meeting delivery targets. Metra weather information can be used to help calculate demand requirements and allows you to plan downtime for maintenance operations.

Hydro Power Stations

Effective management of the water resource is critical to hydro operations. Metra can provide hourly spot rainfall forecasts for your catchments up to three days ahead, to help our clients better calculate inflows, plan generation activities and schedule spill over operations. We also provide long term forecasts.

Wind Power

Accurate weather forecasting for wind farms is essential. In addition to long term forecasts, Metra can provide detailed hourly wind forecasts for your turbine sites up to three days ahead - allowing you to better calculate daily output, schedule maintenance and plan for severe weather events. Wind forecasts are available for the specific height of your turbine.
