AI weather forecasting enters the energy market as Google targets grid operators with WeatherNext 3
Google’s newest AI weather forecasting model predicts wind speed at 100 metres above the ground, roughly the height of a modern wind turbine. It also forecasts cloud cover and how much sunlight reaches the surface, and it updates every hour. Energy traders, grid operators and wind and solar developers already pay other companies for that […] The post AI weather forecasting enters the energy market as Google targets grid operators with WeatherNext 3 appeared first on AI News.
