The consortium of the European Coordination Action ‘Prediction of Waves, Wakes and Offshore Wind’ (POW'WOW) has established a Virtual Laboratory (ViLab) for the development and operational use of wind power prediction systems. The objectives are to stimulate research in this field, to tighten the collaboration between forecasters and forecast users, and to follow and communicate the state of the art in short term prediction of wind generation. The present note clarifies the benefits for the participants to the ViLab. Also, it describes the methodology employed and some practical issues related to data and confidentiality.
