Energy Industry – Electricity Grid Weather Solutions
Operational Grid Security: Manage power grids efficiently with innovative weather solutions from UBIMET
The amount of renewable energy fed into the grid depends heavily on the weather. In order to plan the grid more efficiently and provide reliable supply, grid system operators must be informed as precisely as possible about the volume of supply and demand for electricity as well as the resulting transmission capacities.
Challenges in grid network operation:
- Ensuring grid stability
- Integrating volatile renewable energy into grid
- Optimisation of transmission capacity via overhead line monitoring
- Prevention of power outages
- Trading renewable energy within the German renewable energies act (EEG)
- Scheduling safe maintenance and service operations
- Accounting for the increasing share of renewable energy in the grid development plan
- Predictive maintenance & validation of damages caused by force majeur
Highly precise weather solutions for stable, safe and intelligent grid operations:
UBIMET offers high-precision and reliable energy-sector-specific meteorology solutions, supporting network operators with planning, operations and trading.

Energy Industry – Energy Trading Weather Solutions
Weather and electricity exchange: UBIMET weather solutions for real-time, short-term and medium-term optimisation of energy trading.
The weather impacts both electricity production and the demand for electricity, thus directly influencing electricity prices. In order to proactively adapt and define strategies according to changes in the weather energy traders and direct sellers require the most precise information on feed-in and electricity demand.
Challenges in energy trading:
- Determining weather-related influences in gas and electricity trading
- Best possible approximation of electricity production from renewable energy
- Direct selling of renewable energies
- Optimisation of spot market forecasts
- Development of new trading strategies
Highly accurate weather solutions to minimise risks, increase trade opportunities and maximise financial returns.
UBIMET offers energy suppliers and direct sellers comprehensive, reliable and highly precise weather solutions to optimise price models and spot market forecasts. All of this valuable data can be conveniently accessed in the Weather Cockpit®.

Energy Industry – Renewable Energy Weather Solutions
Weather and Renewables: Weather solutions from UBIMET provide information on the impact of weather on power generation, demand and prices
Renewable energies are already an important source of electricity worldwide and will continue to gain importance. Since power generation, demand and prices are directly related to the weather, reliable and accurate meteorological information is essential to ensure efficiency, effectiveness and safety and to ensure economic success.
Challenges when dealing with renewable energies:
- Ensuring grid stability
- Integrating volatile renewable energy into grid
- Optimisation of transmission capacity via overhead line monitoring
- Prevention of power outages
- Trading renewable energy within the German renewable energies act (EEG)
- Scheduling safe maintenance and service operations
- Accounting for the increasing share of renewable energy in the grid development plan
- Predictive maintenance & validation of damages caused by force majeur
Highly precise and tailor-made weather solutions ensuring economic success:
UBIMET offers high-precision and reliable energy-sector-specific meteorology solutions, supporting network operators with planning, operations and trading.

Energy Industry – Energy Providers Weather Solutions
Security of energy supply: UBIMET provides innovative and high-precision weather data for regional, super regional and national energy suppliers
Energy providers need precise weather data to ensure energy supply to their customers, for example, if it is cold outside then power consumption increases. Energy suppliers must ensure that extra electricity is available and, if necessary, activate power plants at precisely the right time.
Challenges for regional, super regional and national energy suppliers:
- Management balancing supply vs demand
- Optimisation of power plant deployment
- Creation of load forecasts
- Calculation of electricity loads of own customers
- Accurate billing of end customers
High-precision weather solutions for optimised energy supply
UBIMET provides reliable and high-precision weather solutions to optimise balancing and timetable management, as well as power plant scheduling, load forecasting and accurate, WMO-compliant weather data for consumption determination.
