Application of Ensemble Sensitivity Analysis to Observation Targeting for Short-term Wind Speed Forecasting in the Tehachapi Region Winter Season

Technical Report Zack, John ; Natenberg, Eddie ; Young, Steve ; ...

This study extends the wind power forecast sensitivity work done by Zack et al. (2010a, b) in two prior research efforts. Zack et al. (2010a, b) investigated the relative predictive value and optimal combination of different variables/locations from correlated sensitivity patterns. Their work involved developing the Multiple Observation Optimization Algorithm (MOOA) and applying the algorithm to the results obtained from the Ensemble Sensitivity Analysis (ESA) method (Ancell and Hakim 2007; Torn and Hakim 2008).

Application of Ensemble Sensitivity Analysis to Observation Targeting for Short-term Wind Speed Forecasting in the Washington-Oregon Region

Technical Report Zack, John ; Natenberg, Eddie ; Young, Steve ; ...

To economically and reliably balance electrical load and generation, electrical grid operators, also called Balancing Authorities (BA), need highly accurate electrical power generation forecasts in time frames ranging from a few minutes to six hours ahead. As wind power generation increases, there is a requirement to improve the accuracy of 0- to 6-hour ahead wind power forecasts. Forecasts covering this short look-ahead period have depended heavily on short-term trends obtained from the actual power production and meteorological data of a wind generation facility. Additional data are often available from Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models and sometimes from off-site meteorological towersmore » near wind generation facilities.« less

Application of Ensemble Sensitivity Analysis to Observation Targeting for Short-term Wind Speed Forecasting

Technical Report Zack, J ; Natenberg, E ; Young, S ; ...

The operators of electrical grids, sometimes referred to as Balancing Authorities (BA), typically make critical decisions on how to most reliably and economically balance electrical load and generation in time frames ranging from a few minutes to six hours ahead. At higher levels of wind power generation, there is an increasing need to improve the accuracy of 0- to 6-hour ahead wind power forecasts. Forecasts on this time scale have typically been strongly dependent on short-term trends indicated by the time series of power production and meteorological data from a wind farm.

Impacts of Short-Term Solar Power Forecasts in System Operations

Conference Ibanez, Eduardo ; Krad, Ibrahim ; Hodge, Bri-Mathias ; ...

Solar generation is experiencing an exponential growth in power systems worldwide and, along with wind power, is posing new challenges to power system operations. Those challenges are characterized by an increase of system variability and uncertainty across many time scales: from days, down to hours, minutes, and seconds. Much of the research in the area has focused on the effect of solar forecasting across hours or days. This paper presents a methodology to capture the effect of short-term forecasting strategies and analyzes the economic and reliability implications of utilizing a simple, yet effective forecasting method for solar PV in intra-daymore » operations.« less
