Solar Power Forecasting
Introduction
Example
Introduction
Example
DNV Forecaster accesses its vast repository of global weather model data to help predict solar power output in many different regions and climate regimes throughout the world for both front-of-meter and behind-the-meter PV installations. Solar forecasts incorporate physical modelling as well as more advanced statistical and machine learning techniques, along with real-time plant feedback data to accurately predict intra-day and next days’ power output. Solar power forecasts are tailored to your specific project, portfolio, or market of interest.Power Demand Forecasting
Introduction
Example
Introduction
DNV leverages its extensive knowledge and expertise in weather forecasting, machine learning, and power systems planning to produce accurate and reliable predictions of power demand on an electrical system. Power demand forecasts can be produced for large electrical systems, such as country or market level, or for much smaller systems, such as a commercial or residential building.Example
Hindcasting
Introduction
Introduction
For your soon-to-be operational wind or solar plant, hindcasts provide a wind or solar plant owner or operator an expectation of forecast behavior and accuracies at the site, allowing for increased preparedness and confidence in decision making and planning once the plant is operational. DNV Forecaster can be enabled in hindcast mode to deliver wind or solar power predictions at a given site for up to several years in the past. In addition, on-site or near-site met data can be used to produce and deliver an estimation of actual power production over the desired period.What we offer:
