What role does weather forecasting play in the stability of a highly integrated renewable energy system?

With the perpetual rise of the share of renewable energies (in particular solar and wind energy) in the energy mix, the vulnerability of the electricity grid will become increasingly important in the face of the short-term variability of these intermittent resources, and therefore Consequently, the reliability of the renewable energy production forecast will be an essential asset for the stability of the electricity system.

Thus, the decisive role of meteorological forecasting comes into play in order, on the one hand, to optimize the planning by the electricity network manager of the production plan, and on the other hand, to effectively sizing the control power reserves.
