Project ORECCA – Final Report 27/03/2017
Activities (2/2) Forecast Monitoring Weather Resource Grid management (energy demand and disaster mitigation) Resource Energy production forecast (solar, wind, ocean) Monitoring Exploitation of resources Biomass resources availability 27/03/2017
Conclusion Energy is a "consumer" To improve reliability and availability To reduce cost Need access to "affordable" data Interest to "expand" to other energy sources Like for hydropower, geothermal 27/03/2017
