RIOD Helps Wind-Turbine Customer to Monitor Energy generation for Forecasting.
Wind power accounts for nearly 10% of India’s total installed power generation capacity and generated 62.03 TWh in the fiscal year 2018-19, which is nearly 4% of total electricity generation.
One of the leading wind turbine power generation organization had a challenge of having live data of power generated. This data helps the central team and quality analyzers to forecast the power generation and provide the data to the government.
