Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Featured Speaker: Ben Sigrin, Energy Systems Modeling Engineer, NREL Webinar Abstract: Forecasting the adoption and operation of distributed energy resources (DER), e.g., rooftop PV, at fine spatial resolution is an integral part of distribution system (DSP) and integrated resource planning (IRP). Two approaches are emerging: simulating realistic, but statistically representative end-users at regional or transmission scale planning, or, simulating actual end-users for specific power systems, typically in distribution planning. Both approaches face tradeoffs in the ease…
