Expert opinion

The truth about renewable energy forecasting

This three-part series tells the story of what it takes to be continually amongst the best in the world, the lessons learned through lots of practice, and an honest look at the limits of forecasting.

Part one: "The Good"

Forecast accuracy has increased dramatically over the last few decades. What could only be predicted one day in advance in 1980 can now be forecasted with the same level of accuracy five days in advance.

Part two: "The Bad"

Bad forecasts don’t just look bad, they cost money. Bad forecasts can turn into bad maintenance schedules, over- or under-commitment to day-ahead markets, and sub-optimal dispatch of energy storage.

Part three: "The Ugly"

With renewable energy, you don’t have to pay for your fuel and that fuel is also entirely carbon-free. These are two huge strengths. But you can’t just make this energy show up when and where you want it.
