Short summary
To better predict offshore wind energy in Belgium, we improved the Royal Meteorological Institute (RMI) weather model by directly incorporating the effects of wind turbines. We also used AI to account for wind farm wake effects, where turbines slow down wind for other turbines. By combining physics-based models with a neural network trained on observations from the Belgian Offshore Zone, we achieved more accurate forecasts. This helps ensure a stable power grid and supports the growing role of offshore wind in our energy mix.
