Icing Forecasting

AI-powered ice detection and forecasting for wind turbines, developed with technology partner Eologix-ping. Renewcast helps utilities, traders and asset owners predict and mitigate ice formation on turbine blades, with more than 80% accuracy and a 91% recall rate, catching 9 out of 10 icing events up to 48 hours ahead.

Our Services

  • Ice Probability Forecast: forecasting of ice formation on turbine blades across 6h, 12h, 24h and 48h horizons, to support operational decisions and market positioning
  • Ice-Aware Power Generation Forecast: corrects the power forecast for icing-related derating, turning detection into savings, up to +0.5 nMAE points recovered during icing hours and significant imbalance-cost savings per winter
  • Ice Persistence: estimates how long icing will last
  • Dynamic Icing Alerts: early ramp-up signal for operational teams
  • Ice Nowcasting: sensor-refined alerts with 0-2h lead time
  • Power Derating & Impact: SCADA-based estimation of production losses

Available worldwide, validated on real operational data
