System Operation & Market Design Working Group Spring 2021 Session
The System Operation & Market Design Working Group will hold an online session on Thursday, April 15, 3:00 – 5:00 pm (eastern US). Topic: Using Advanced Forecasts for Operating the Power Grid Renewable forecasts have been used for operating the bulk power system for more than 15 years, and load forecasts for many decades. Until recently, forecasts have tended to be deterministic, representing the ‘best guess’ of expected behavior for the time period. More advanced methods that explicitly represent uncertainty have recently begun…
