Getting the Maximum Value from Operational Renewable Energy Forecasts
Read More: Getting the Maximum Value from Operational Renewable Energy ForecastsThe operational use of wind and solar power production forecasts has become widespread in the electric power industry. Their benefits for the management of weather-dependent generation variability have been documented in a number of studies. However, there is considerable evidence that the full value of wind and solar forecasts is often not realized in many…

The Role for Grid-Enhancing Technologies
Read More: The Role for Grid-Enhancing TechnologiesThe energy transition is trying to fit a square peg into a round hole—variable, renewable generation into a grid built for thermal generators. To stop climate change, we must adapt this system as cost-effectively and as quickly as possible to deliver variable generation, often from far-flung sunny and windy regions, to load centers. Grid-Enhancing technologies…

Trends of Open-Sourcing Models in the Energy Space
Read More: Trends of Open-Sourcing Models in the Energy SpaceNowadays, many of our most important apps and programs are open source or contain open-source components. In recent years, open-source code has also come into the energy space, where most tools and models had previously been in-house operations (albeit with some notable exceptions). A rather long list of current open-source energy-related models can be found…
