Google DeepMind launches WeatherNext 3 for renewable energy forecasting

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Google DeepMind has launched WeatherNext 3, an hourly updated weather forecasting system designed to aid in the transition to renewable energy. The system provides detailed predictions for wind farms, including speed and direction at turbine height, and for solar farms, estimating sunlight levels by forecasting cloud cover and radiation. This information helps grid operators and renewable energy producers to better balance power grids and plan for cleaner energy integration. AI

IMPACT Enhances grid management and renewable energy planning by providing more accurate, localized weather forecasts.
