Web Services for Utilities
Highly accurate, Web-delivered weather
information for real-time decision support

MxVision WeatherSentry Web Services
for Utilities
Weather, especially severe weather, can substantially impact your
utility’s operations. Lightning can strike substations, high winds
can bring down branches, ice can snap lines, and hurricanes in
particular can be catastrophic. What’s more, each has the potential
to leave thousands without power.
At Schneider Electric, we offer MxVision WeatherSentry Web Services to
provide your utility with highly accurate weather observations and forecasts
that support strategic operational decisions. This proven information is relied
on by organizations worldwide to protect people, resources, and profitability. In
addition, our forecasts have been ranked the most accurate in the industry for
the last seven consecutive years, in an independent study.
Web services API
MxVision WeatherSentry offers a global weather data Application Programming
Interface (API) in the form of Web services, for both current observed weather
and historical weather for the past 72 hours. These services provide a standard
way for your programmers to integrate valuable weather data directly into your
critical software applications or websites. It is both a point-based and GIS-
based Web service, designed to Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards.
It is also compatible with common Esri®
tools and development environments,
including:
• Apache Flex®
• JavaScript®
• Silverlight®
MxVision WeatherSentry Web Services are delivered via a high-performance
computing platform to ensure fast, reliable response to requests. This allows
the weather data to be integrated into applications for spatial and temporal
visualization with great flexibility
MxVision WeatherSentry Web Services provides REST services, which your
developers and software architects can include in data applications throughout
your organization. This API provides 24/7, secure information exchange that is
mandatory in the electrical utility industry. The REST XML-based service uses
proprietary methods with authentication and SSL.
02 | MxVision WeatherSentry Web Services
Rated number one in precipitation forecasts
for the seventh consecutive year.
With its accurate temperature forecasts, you can:
• Improve load forecasts and save costs by creating
more effective applications
• Streamline development and maintenance of
websites and applications, as well as reduce
development costs with a single, comprehensive
source of weather data
• Improve decision-making, planning, and
communications with consistent, complete data
availability for all application users
Multiple formats for secure delivery
MxVision WeatherSentry Web Services provides
SOAP and REST services, which your developers
and software architects can include in data
applications throughout your organization. Both
services provide the 24/7, secure information
exchange that is mandatory in the electrical utility
industry. SOAP XML-based services use WS-
Security, authentication, and SSL. The REST
XML-based service uses proprietary methods
with authentication and SSL.
Choose the information you need
As a subscriber to our weather Web services
API, you’ll benefit from flexible access to dynamic
weather information, the way you need it, when
you need it:
• Select the forecast and observation locations
critical to your operations, worldwide
• Eliminate the need for employees to filter through
non-essential weather information
You can subscribe to hourly and daily forecasts
for the 15-day outlook, with associated actual
observations. These forecasts are updated every
hour to ensure the most current and accurate
outlook possible.
Quality-controlled hourly and daily
weather observations
Available hourly and daily parameters include those
common for energy operations and planning, such
as temperature values, heat index, humidity, wind
characteristics, precipitation type and amount,
barometric pressure, and many more.
And MxVision WeatherSentry Web Services also
provides parameters not available from free sources
— such as heating degree days and cooling degree
days, irradiance, evapotranspiration, and others —
so you always have the robust information needed
for optimized decision making and operations. In
addition, climatological data is available for locations
in North American.
Restore power faster with
lightning information
Lightning is one of a utility’s greatest concerns. It
puts crews at risk and threatens transmission and
distribution. We deliver real-time strike information
worldwide to support visualization and decision-
support for operational applications.
Real-time lightning information through our GIS Web
services uses color coding to show if lightning is
intensifying or subsiding, and displays where strikes
are the most concentrated. Correlating animated
lightning strikes with real-time local radar can help
anticipate where storms are headed.
Support your decisions with weather insight
When severe weather strikes within your zone of
influence, audio and visual alerts can be triggered
based on our real-time data. An all-clear notification
can also be set up to let you know when the danger
has passed. Plus, real-time Web services can be
integrated into smartphones and other mobile
devices to provide your field workforce with a
convenient view of weather information on
hand-held devices.

With actionable real-time weather data from
MxVision WeatherSentry Web Services, information
can be visualized on detailed, high-resolution maps
or archived for part or all of your service territory,
including time, latitude, and longitude, into an
Excel or .csv file. This allows you to document,
analyze, and report on the weather’s impact on your
operations for better service restoration, outage
prevention, planning, insurance claims, and post-
storm analysis and reporting.
Put our expertise to work for you
As the industry leader in weather forecast accuracy
and information management, we deliver operational
weather intelligence to more businesses and
government organizations than any other provider
in the United States.
With MxVision WeatherSentry Web Services,
available worldwide, any organization can integrate
accurate weather information into its visualization
and analytics platforms to support its best
operational and business decisions.
