Utilities & Operations
With reliable future knowledge of weather, you can better plan day to day operational running - increasing efficiency and reducing cost. The quality and accuracy of weather data is the backbone of Metra’s innovative and commercially useful weather products and services
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, allowing you to better calculate inflows, plan generation activities and schedule spill over operations. Long term forecasts of rainfall can also be provided.
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.
