\r\n

The predictability of solar resource variability presents several limitations, as meteorological models are imperfect and the state of the atmosphere is never fully known. Therefore, the improvement of forecasting systems represents a major challenge for integrating more PV at lower cost, especially in poorly and non interconnected regions.

Funded by the French agency for ecological transition (ADEME, PIA 3), the MoNuTeR project consisted in developing, optimizing and industrializing a new generation of weather forecasting technologies and services specially adapted to the solar energy sector<\/strong>. The forecasting chain, which relies on the use of a high-resolution regional numerical weather prediction model, makes it possible to locally improve the accuracy of forecasts up to 48 hours ahead and to better anticipate the intraday solar resource variability.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The project consists in developing a forecasting chain based on the WRF meteorological model, with a highly flexible configuration perfectly suited for solar applications.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
