IBM partners on 'smart' wind system | Green Tech - CNET News

IBM announced today it has partnered with Alstom Wind Power and Ikerlan-IK4 to develop an automated platform for better manipulating wind turbines and predicting their output of electricity. The product improves the amount of power that can be gleaned from wind energy, which is often debased by critics for its unreliable nature compared to other energy sources.

Using IBM's existing Rational Software originally intended for model-driven development, and its BigLever Gears, originally intended for product line engineering, Alstom Wind Power and Ikerlan-IK4 have developed an automated wind control development platform. Real-time electronic sensors on wind turbines gather data on wind direction, speed, and temperature in their immediate environment.
