Better forecasts. Smarter decisions. More resilient wind energy.
About us
NEXT-WIND
NEXT-WIND brings together expertise in artificial intelligence, weather prediction and energy markets to improve the forecasting, operation and financial resilience of onshore and offshore wind energy.
By connecting high-resolution weather forecasts with wind power production, electricity prices and investment decisions, the project develops tools to help the wind energy sector manage uncertainty and support the energy transition.
What do we offer
Our project
Wind energy is essential to a low-carbon electricity system. Yet changing weather conditions and volatile electricity prices create challenges for wind farm operators, energy buyers and investors.
NEXT-WIND addresses these challenges through more accurate forecasts, better-designed power purchase agreements and improved planning of wind energy infrastructure. The project connects scientific advances with practical industry needs to support more reliable operations and better-informed decisions.
Improving wind forecasts
Developing high-resolution, AI-based weather forecasts that capture wind conditions at turbine height and provide information about forecast uncertainty.
Improving energy contracts
Using better forecasts and regulatory insights to design power purchase agreements that help producers and buyers manage financial risks.
Predicting power and prices
Translating weather information into forecasts of wind power production, rapid production changes and electricity market prices.
Planning future infrastructure
Developing decision-support methods for turbine selection, storage and hybrid renewable energy systems.
