Forecasting Meteorological Events Leading to Extreme Wind Gusts in Eletrobras' Power Transmission Assets

Co-development of a solution to forecast meteorological events that cause extreme wind gusts up to 72 hours in advance, based on meteorological data and information from the state of Paraná and surrounding regions, using an artificial intelligence framework from NVIDIA Corporation and with the active partnership of the SIMEPAR team - Paraná Environmental Monitoring and Technology System.

Using NVIDIA Corporation's AI framework, the EARTH 2 Studio, we seek proposals to develop a short-term weather forecasting solution (about 12 to 72 hours) that identifies the atmospheric patterns leading to extreme wind gusts, analyzing space-time scales beyond those typically addressed by nowcasting. The study area and data source for the development of the solution will be the state of Paraná and its surrounding regions. Consequently, to ensure the successful development of the final proposal, the participation of SIMEPAR – Paraná Environmental Monitoring and Technology System – will be essential.

A solução deve ser baseada em inteligência artificial e data analytics, aplicando-se os módulos de previsão, simulação e visualização da atmosfera, da NVIDIA Corporation, o EARTH 2 Studio. Essa plataforma tem uma estrutura de código aberto para construção, treinamento e ajuste fino de modelos preditivos, combinando causalidade, simulações baseadas na física da atmosfera e dados observados. Para o melhor aproveitamento dessa plataforma, contaremos com a parceria da NVIDIA Corporation.
