First, Happy Holidays to all.
And to keep things cheerful, this post is full of positive information. Basically, by improved precision in forecasting winds near wind turbine sites, utilities are able to save millions of dollars per year in total power generation costs. This is because they can now match coal and gas fired generator needs to the predicted output from associated wind turbines, which allows them to shut down coal and gas generation units as long as wind generation units are forecast to be more productive with more wind. Neat science, and a benefit to all.
