Description

Running a high-voltage transmission grid is work in the shadows: it rarely goes wrong. Yet, a lot of challenges are faced every day. Reliable forecasting is at the heart of this challenge. A good understanding of weather will lead to better forecasts, yet the landscape is changing fast. Having accurate solar and wind forecasts is not enough; better insights in market dynamics and new technological developments are on the horizon. Within this keynote an overview will be given in the developments we have faced over the last few years, and the challenges we will face for the next few years.
