Solar Forecasting II Funding Opportunity Announcement
The overarching goal of this FOA is to support the development of capabilities that will allow increased deployment of solar power generation at optimal cost.
Better solar forecasting will allow the reduction of balancing, dispatch, and unit commitment costs associated with errors in the prediction of solar power generation.
These costs scale with solar penetration, therefore it is important to keep them in check with advancements in the forecasting science, implementations of forecasting models with rapid execution, and seamless integration of forecasting tools in the electric system operations.
