Five-minute forecast a win for solar energy industry
Australian researchers are developing short-term weather forecasts for solar farms to help them precisely predict output as little as five minutes in advance The $A1.2 million project, which officially started yesterday, will use data generated by real-time sky cameras, satellite images and statistical modelling to design a world-first, short-term forecasting model to more accurately predict […]
