This PI System plugin reads weather forecast feeds and inserts hourly conditions into the model. Supported weather data feeds include weather.gov (U.S. 7-day by latitude/longitude) and visualcrossing.com (In Visual Crossing Weather, this information is available at the hourly and daily level. For forecast periods beyond 7-10 days, the forecast is run at three-hour intervals.)
A separate AF database is used for a detailed plant model so users may include any parameter in the forecasted model. Users can also schedule automatic email distribution of reports at regular intervals (usually daily).
