“Germany’s renewable revolution awaits energy forecast”
nature
To be able to avoid high re-dispatch costs for grid stabilisation, German researchers are testing a new system to better predict power generation of wind and solar PV parks, writes the science journal nature. With the research project EWeLiNE, Fraunhofer IWES, the national weather service Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) and grid operators want to combine weather forecasts with actual feed-in data and let the predictive models learn from comparing the forecast electricity generation with the actual production. In 2015, re-dispatch measures in Germany cost an estimated 500 million euros.
