Building on the decades-long legacy of Meteosat’s first- and second-generation satellites, Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) will orbit the Earth at an altitude of 36,000 km with a stable view of Europe and Africa. It's launch offers multiple opportunities outside the space sector. MTG satellite system features and improvements EUMETSAT has provided society with more than three decades worth of satellite data, starting with the
Weather and environmental parameters are key factors affecting PV performance. Over the years, the accuracy of the yield prediction has increased. Still, the fundamental question remains when considering development of a new solar plant: how much energy will it generate? Many parameters are subject to tough discussions between a project’s different stakeholders. One of them is future performance, and the question regarding solar resource
The DYVALOCCA project is a collaboration between French, German and Gabonese partners. Reuniwatt's Sky InSight (infrared all-sky imager) was used during a field campaign to monitor the evolution of clouds and evaluate their effects on water and light availability in a forest along the Atlantic coast of Central Africa. Low clouds are key components of climate. However, they are rarely well represented in weather
The CONTRAILS project aims to develop and combine advanced trustworthy AI methods and physical models to improve contrail identification, characterization, data assimilation, and prediction. It aims to do this by achieving a better understanding of the overall physical process underlying their formation. CONTRAILS Project - AI for parameterization, data assimilation and prediction With respect to aerospace applications, the results of this project will provide
Solar power is set to occupy an increasingly important role in Europe, as the European Union (EU) strives to implement its Green Deal, reduce fossil fuel imports and increase the share of renewables in its final energy consumption. Energy producers can use Reuniwatt’s solar power forecasts to estimate how much energy they will be able to generate from the solar resource on a given
[Webinar Series] Renewable hybrid energy solutions: Decarbonising mines, cost reduction and energy security The mining industry faces a complex challenge: how to provide the essential resources the modern global economy needs while reducing its own environmental impact. The integration of renewables and energy storage into its power system offers a number of opportunities for mines: making production more sustainable and reducing costs, while
[Webinar Series] Stabilizing grid operations through storage & forecasting of renewable generation With last year’s Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (RMIPPPP), South Africa has been enabling an even more rapid deployment of renewable energy sources. With solar and wind power’s variable electricity production, Eskom, as well as grid operators and utilities worldwide, are constantly adapting their requirements for renewable energy projects
Reuniwatt has once again been selected as a finalist for The smarter E AWARD 2022! We’ve been nominated in the category “Outstanding Projects” for our contribution to B2Gold's Fekola Mine hybrid power plant in Mali, together with our project partner Suntrace GmbH. Reuniwatt and Suntrace have already presented a joint webinar about the hybridization of off-grid mines using solar power and solar forecasting, "Off-grid
Reuniwatt is already the winner of a 1st prize of the Space Tour 2021 launched by the French Ministry of the Economy, Finance and the Recovery. We are proud to be on board a second winning project! Free-space optical communications still face several technical challenges before their full potential can be reached. The technology of free-space optical communications is based on the transport of
As an international reference for the solar international photovoltaics (PV) community, pv magazine is well aware of the value of forecasting for PV projects of any size. In their November 2021 edition, weather forecasting was highlighted in the article "Forecast for foresight, and prosper". The cloud cover significantly influences power output, as do high winds, heavy snowfall, fire, and hail – and can lead
