Operational Impact
The big data solution has reduced the response time for wind forecasting information by approximately 97 percent, from weeks to hours, helping to cut development time. | |
The solution has improved the accuracy of turbine placement by enabling the analysis of a greater breadth and depth of data. | |
The solution has reduced the IT footprint and costs, and decreased energy consumption by 40 percent, all while increasing computational power. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Reduced response time for wind forecasting information by approximately 97 percent. | |
Decreased energy consumption by 40 percent. | |
Increased computational power, allowing twice the number of servers to be run in each of the system's 12 racks. | |
