Understanding Gridded Data: Documentation

Each gridded data set has its own characteristics that define suitability for particular uses. Speedwell is able to advise on the suitability of gridded data sets, their strengths and weaknesses. We also offer whitepapers summarising each data set. These are available on request

Accessing Gridded Data

Gridded data can be accessed delivered by FTP, directly through the Speedwell Weather System or (coming soon) via API. In addition, data for a specific point can be accessed by licenced users directly through our web application.

Speedwell Proprietary Gridded Data Products

Speedwell produce a number of Industry specific Indexes, based upon reanalysis/gridded data, which may be used to analyse and monitor weather risk. These are currently available for a number of Wind Power Production regions.

Designed for use in risk-transfer, these use gridded wind data and wind turbine power curves to generate a synthetic time series designed to replicate actual power output.

Please contact us for more information on the process used as well as available products.

Licencing

Unlimited access to gridded data sets including our proprietary data sets and Wind Benchmarks is included in the SuperPack® Premium licence. SuperPack provides corporate-wide access under a single contract.
