The CEC Releases “Improving Short-term Load Forecasts by Incorporating Solar PV Generation” Interim Report

October 20, 2017

The California Energy Commission’s (CEC) Energy Research and Development Division supports energy research and development programs to spur innovation in energy efficiency, renewable energy and advanced clean generation, energy-related environmental protection, energy transmission, and distribution and transportation.

In 2012, the Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) was established by the California Public Utilities Commission to fund public investments in research to create and advance new energy solution, foster regional innovation and bring ideas from the lab to the marketplace. The CEC and the state’s three largest investor-owned utilities were selected to administer the EPIC funds and advance novel technologies, tools and strategies that provide benefits to their electric ratepayers.

The CEC recently released the interim report “Improving Short-Term Load Forecasts by Incorporating Solar PV Generation” for the grant number CEC-EPC-14-001 conducted by Itron Inc. The information from this project contributes to Energy Research and Development Division’s EPIC Program.

The interim report investigates three different methods to integrate behind-the-meter solar photovoltaic (PV) forecasts with an operational net load forecast. This work determined how to best integrate rapidly growing behind-the-meter PV into net load forecasts for the California Independent System Operator. See the full report here.

Tip: It's the step after the last dot that caused this error, not those before it.
----
Tip: If the failing expression is known to legally refer to something that's sometimes null or missing, either specify a default value like myOptionalVar!myDefault, or use <#if myOptionalVar??>when-present<#else>when-missing</#if>. (These only cover the last step of the expression; to cover the whole expression, use parenthesis: (myOptionalVar.foo)!myDefault, (myOptionalVar.foo)??
