2:00 PM – 3:00 PM PDT

Location: Veronese, 2503, Level 2, The Venetian

As increasing amounts of variable energy resources like solar and wind are installed throughout the country, some may question the reliability of the power grid. Accurate forecasts of the output of such power plants can offer both lower energy prices and higher grid reliability. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has long recognized the promise of advanced forecasting methods and has supported their development as well as their adoption by a cautious industry. In this session you will hear from the DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office and industry stakeholders about the latest developments and the promising path ahead.
