The document discusses WINData's plan to reduce wind forecasting uncertainty using real-time meteorological observations from offsite locations. WINData will deploy remote meteorological towers equipped with sensors and a PI data acquisition system to transmit high-fidelity wind speed and direction data. This upstream wind data will help forecasters better predict ramp events and refine short-term wind power forecasts to improve grid integration and reduce operating costs for utilities. WINData has partnered with OSIsoft to develop interfaces between their remote data acquisition hardware and the PI System and ECHO platforms.
