The Wind & Solar Integration Workshop offers a unique platform for engaging with global experts, industry leaders, and researchers tackling the challenges of renewable energy integration. It aims to tackle the pressing challenges of integrating wind and solar energy into modern power grids. With a rich legacy built over two decades, the workshop fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and showcases practical and theoretical advancements critical to accelerating the clean energy transition
This joint workshop, organised by IEA Wind Task 51 and IEA PVPS Task 16, provides insights into the state of forecasting technologies and recommended practices for wind and solar energy. The ongoing work of both Tasks will be presented, including recent developments in forecasting methodologies. For PV, the focus will be on short-term forecast errors and satellite-based nowcasting approaches. The session concludes with a panel discussion bringing together all presenters to address the challenges of renewable energy forecasting in power systems with penetration levels of 80% or more.
