Webinar: Weather Data Inputs for Power System Modeling: Mind the Gaps
Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Download Q&A Responses Featured Speaker: Justin Sharp, Principal and Owner, Sharply Focused About the Webinar: The electricity system is rapidly transitioning to a system in which most of the generation — wind, solar, and hydro — is strongly influenced by weather patterns. Load is also becoming more weather-dependent with the increased electrification of transportation and space heating. And weather powerfully affects energy-limited resources, such as battery storage, and behind-the-meter generation, which are blurring the lines…
