What is Forecasting ?

By -

Forecasting: The process of calculating and predicting future events, usually based on extrapolation from the past experience and with varying degrees of uncertainty. Forecasting is an integral part of business decision processes. The energy industry relies on forecasters to forecast load, generation and prices, etc. These forecasts are being used by all segments of the energy industry for planning and operations of both power systems and business entities. 

Some of the key topics related to renewable energy (RE) forecasting are as below:

1. Machine Learning Techniques for Renewable Energy Forecasting: Exploring how AI and machine learning algorithms improve the accuracy of renewable energy predictions.

2. Weather Radar Technology for Wind Energy Forecasting: Discussing the use of weather radar data to enhance wind energy forecasting models.

3. Blockchain Applications in Renewable Energy Forecasting: Exploring how blockchain technology can improve transparency and efficiency in RE forecasting systems.

4. Ensemble Forecasting Approaches for Solar Power Generation: Analyzing the benefits of ensemble forecasting methods for predicting solar irradiance and photovoltaic output.

5. Renewable Energy Forecasting in Remote Areas: Discussing the challenges and solutions for predicting renewable energy generation in off-grid and remote locations.

6. Multi-Scale Forecasting Models for Hydropower Generation: Exploring the integration of multi-scale weather and hydrological models to improve hydropower forecasting accuracy.

7. Satellite Data and Remote Sensing for Renewable Energy Forecasting: Investigating how satellite imagery and remote sensing techniques can enhance RE forecasting capabilities.

8. Uncertainty Quantification in Renewable Energy Forecasting: Discussing methodologies for quantifying and managing uncertainty in RE forecasting models.

9. Renewable Energy Forecasting for Microgrids: Analyzing the role of accurate forecasting in optimizing energy management and grid stability in microgrid systems.

10. Renewable Energy Forecasting for Energy Markets: Exploring the impact of RE forecasting on energy trading strategies and market operations.

11. Probabilistic Forecasting for Renewable Energy Integration: Discussing probabilistic forecasting techniques to assess the likelihood of extreme events and improve decision-making in RE integration.

12. Renewable Energy Forecasting and Climate Change Adaptation: Investigating how climate change impacts affect RE forecasting models and adaptation strategies.

13. Renewable Energy Forecasting for Disaster Response and Resilience: Discussing the use of forecasting tools to prepare for and respond to natural disasters and emergencies.

14. Citizen Science and Crowd-Sourced Data for Renewable Energy Forecasting: Exploring the potential of involving the public in collecting and analyzing data to improve RE forecasting accuracy.

15. Renewable Energy Forecasting for Energy Access Projects: Analyzing the role of forecasting in planning and implementing renewable energy projects to enhance energy access in underserved communities.

In most of the western countries and developing countries are launching the new concept called the “ Recycling Malls ” in major cities and towns across their countries. The main objective of the recycle mart is to sell the used products (ex: used plastic, glass, paper, etc.). This is an innovative way of making things and helping in reducing environmental pollution in the surroundings across the globe.   There are different kinds of pollutions that are generated effecting Air, Water, Land, Food, Sea, Ocean pollutions. It is damaging the EARTH gradually and impacting directly and indirectly that are highly toxic and increase the scope of new harmful viruses etc.   Issue: Wastes are different types that are generated in the world which is mostly produced by man. Anything that is produced excess and unable to control is added into pollutant list. The recycling plants are getting adopted across the globe with different techniques, methodologies and Strategic ways in collection

Solar panels installed on the roof with a capacity of 11.5 MW in Punjab state in India India’s solar mission which has kept at a target of 175 GW and the government is trying to keep its word to generate power from all kinds of Renewable Energy Resources. As it is focused on Solar, Wind and Biomass power generation technologies. We all know that a roof is the zero cost of land and uses the space for solar panel installation. There is no requirement of a special setup is installing the solar roof. Depending upon the roof size and shading and direction of the sunlight is considered for setting up the solar panels. But, most of them have small or medium roofs that can generate in kiloWatts (kW) or Megawatt (MW) scale. In Amritsar, there is an installation od 11.5 MW capacity of a solar power plant which is completely covered with solar roof which will benefit 8000 households was built by Radha Saomi Satsang Beas (RSSB), a religious organization in Punjab.

India is witnessing a new chapter in the growth of the renewable sector, mainly in the solar sector. Hence, any new breakthrough in the field of solar cells and solar power generation is beneficial for India. New technology is being developed in the University of Chicago within the confines of its chemistry laboratory by Professor “Luping Yu”. A new kind of solar panel was designed and manufactured which has a higher efficiency when compared with the currently running modules used for power generation. The given polymer solar cell consists of a new polymer, called "PID2". The new polymer improves the efficiency of electrical power generation by 15 per cent when added to a standard polymer-fullerene mixture. New light has been shed on solar power generation using devices made with polymers. Researchers identified a new polymer a type of large molecule that forms plastics and other familiar materials which improved the efficiency of solar cells. The group also determined th
