Download Simonson Presentation
Featured Speakers: Adrienne Simonson, Director, NOAA’s Open Data Dissemination (NODD), and David Stuebe, Software Engineer, Camus Energy
About the Webinar: For grid operators and planners managing the shift to large-scale renewable generation, accurate weather forecasting is an increasingly essential tool. NOAA’s Open Data Dissemination (NODD) provides public access to weather forecast models that provide grid operators with an opportunity to incorporate more accurate and precise weather prediction data into real-time operations. In this webinar, experts from NODD and Camus Energy will showcase how utilities are actively using these weather forecasts to improve peak demand management programs and inform real-time operations. They will also provide an overview of NODD, including an introduction to all the NOAA environmental data available to the public, as well as highlighting how utilities and technology providers can leverage these open source datasets to advance their understanding in climate adaptation, resilience, mitigation and sustainability efforts.
