Recent Trends in Variable Generation Forecasting and Its Value to the Power System
Kirsten Orwig,Mark Ahlstrom,Venkat Banunarayanan,Justin Sharp,James M. Wilczak,Jeffrey Freedman,Sue Ellen Haupt,Joel Cline,Obadiah Bartholomy,Hendrik F. Hamann,Bri-Mathias Hodge,Catherine Finley,Dora Nakafuji,Jack Peterson,David Maggio,Melinda Marquis +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the recent trends in wind and solar power forecasting technologies in the U.S., the role of forecasting in an evolving power system framework, and the benefits to intended forecast users.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Identifying Wind and Solar Ramping Events
TL;DR: In this article, the swinging door algorithm is applied to identify variable generation ramping events from historic operational data, which is a critical task that feeds into a larger work of defining novel metrics for wind and solar power forecasting that attempt to capture the true impact of forecast errors on system operations and economics, and informing various power system models in a data-driven manner for superior exploratory simulation research.
A Comparison of Wind Power and Load Forecasting Error Distributions
TL;DR: This work makes a comparison between the day-ahead forecasting errors encountered in wind power forecasting and load forecasting, and examines the distribution of errors from operational forecasting systems in two different Independent System Operator (ISO) regions for both wind power and load forecasts at theday-ahead timeframe.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Wind data inputs for regional wind integration studies
Debra Lew,Charles Alonge,Michael C. Brower,Jaclyn D. Frank,Lavelle Freeman,Kirsten Orwig,C Potter,Yih-huei Wan +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the methodologies used to create these datasets, the pitfalls that may be encountered, and the tradeoffs between different methodological approaches, and examined the benefits and drawbacks of different approaches.
