The IEA Wind Recommended Practice on Forecast Solution Selection is published.
On 18 Sept. 2019, the IEA Wind ExCo approved the release of the IEA Recommended Practice on Forecast Solution Selection. The ultimate objective of this set of documents is to (1) maximize the value of renewable energy forecast information in operational decision-making applications and (2) significantly reduce the costs of integrating large amounts of wind and solar generation assets into grid systems through more efficient management of the renewable generation variability. It addresses the issue that many current operational forecast solutions are not properly optimized for their intended applications. The documents were authored by a group of international experts, which collaborated within one of the activities under IEA Wind Task 36 (Wind Power Forecasting). The group of experts included researchers from universities and government laboratories, commercial forecast providers and users of operational forecasts. The set consists of three documents can be obtained from the Task 36 website (click here).
