Grid management in the age of renewables Turbulence effects at the windpark Horns Rev, west coast of Denmark, 12. Feb. 2008, 13:00. Photo: Christian Steiness EWeLiNE: Development of innovative weather and power forecast models for the grid integration of weather dependent energy sources

TSOs: Current forecast usage Traditional use of meteorological data: Long-term climate data for siting
14
TSOs: Current forecast usage New use of meteorological data: Day-ahead and intraday forecasts for grid management Fraunhofer IWES, 2014
15
TSOs: Current forecast usage Since early 2000s: Direct use of DWD forecasts for wind power forecasts Additionally: Inofficial use of secondary weather products Wetteronline.de
16
Current forecast shortcomings Nonetheless, errors can be large enough to endanger grid stability! Projected production Day ahead Intraday 3000 MW error: Power balancing necessary 6000 MW error: Trade necessary
17
Current forecast shortcomings Most errors in grid projections are from renewable feed-in, which is weather- dependent. Wind Front passages (intensity and spatiotemporal positioning) Bias in stable conditions Diurnal cycle Photovoltaic After passage of cold fronts Convection Low stratus clouds Snow cover Additional gains can come from using probabilistic forecasts.

Fostering adoption: User dialog Energy users come from a nonmeteorological background and are used to deterministic forecasts Temperature “Hard” initial condition Easy: Single forecast as projected “truth“ Forecast time
19
Fostering adoption: User dialog Energy users come from a nonmeteorological background and are used to deterministic forecasts Temperature Forecast time Hard: Confidence communicated as a probability density function Distribution of initial belief
20
Fostering adoption: User dialog Before product development begins: Discussions with users, workplace visits to understand their needs
21
Fostering adoption: User dialog Before product development begins: Discussions with users, workplace visits to understand their needs Throughout the development process: Frequent meetings, brainstorming sessions, training with new products, etc.

Fostering adoption: User dialog Example: Users would like to see probability of windspeed from 2 directions First try:
23
Fostering adoption: User dialog Example: Users would like to see probability of windspeed from 2 directions First try: Too complicated!
24
Fostering adoption: User dialog Example: Users would like to see probability of windspeed from 2 directions Second try: Just right! 10 20 30 -10 -20 -30 1236 kn time
