Vaisala launched today Vaisala compassa weather-based decision-making platform for the sustainable energy sector. Ultimately, the Vaisala Compass platform provides a comprehensive set of tools to optimize the entire lifecycle of wind and solar projects, from initial site assessment through operation.
Vaisala Compass enables developers and operators to mitigate challenges associated with weather variability and uncertainty, such as collecting reliable data in increasingly complex site conditions, accurately evaluating weather data to assess revenue sources, securing project financing and optimizing of wind and solar park activities. The digital platform organizes, connects and simplifies access to the largest portfolio of weather solutions, combining instrumentation and intelligence, and leverages more than 40 years of historical wind and solar data from Vaisala, combined with observational weather data.
The software platform ensures that data is accurate, reliable and affordable – in every field. Users can also continuously monitor and manage their fleet of weather instruments, including WindCube lidars and AWS810 Solar Edition weather stations, on one platform.
“As renewable energy grows and developers and operators strive to maximize the value of their projects, the advanced Compass platform provides a uniquely efficient weather analysis and project management experience,” said Alexis Crama, vice president responsible for the renewable energy sector at Weather and Environment in Vaisala. “By combining our extensive historical weather data with real-time measurements and advanced analytics, Compass enables customers to make more informed decisions at every stage of their projects. And this is just the beginning: we will continue to set the industry standard by expanding the platform’s capabilities to meet the ever-evolving needs of the industry.”
