Description

In recent years, the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium (RMI) has positioned itself strongly in the field of renewable energy forecasting and its applications. This was made possible by leveraging scientific collaboration within various projects. In this presentation, we give an overview of applications such as the RMI Storm Forecast Tool developed for the Belgian TSO (Elia), and research and development performed in the context of the projects E-TREND (funded by Belspo), BeFORECAST, InStaFlex and STORM (FOD Economy through the Energy Transition Fund), renewable energy impact models within Destination Earth (ECMWF), and the Destination Earth Pilot Service on Dynamic Line Rating (ECMWF). We present the main results, ongoing work, and future plans within these projects.
