Power & energy air quality and weather solutions

The world runs on energy and weather conditions affect both supply and demand.

To maximize output and save costs, energy providers must anticipate and respond to customer needs as accurately as possible.

  • Electricity output and demand fluctuate with the ambient temperature
  • Heat waves lower air density and burning efficiency, reducing energy generation capacity
  • Cold temperatures affect the nature of the fuel and can freeze gas pipelines
  • Lightning and storm behavior is a major threat, especially for LNG-based power plants

Local weather insights are the key to optimization. With it, providers can target energy supplies to the areas that need it most, while organizations all along the energy development chain can minimize equipment damage and production safety risks.
