Solar forecasting held to a higher standard: Reuniwatt’s Soleka

This article was originally published on SolarChoice. Re-produced with permission. Reuniwatt is a solar forecasting company born out of some of the most stringent electricity market conditions on the planet. Founded on France’s Reunion Island, Reuniwatt’s Soleka forecasting tool has been designed to meet the strict reliability standards of an island grid heavily reliant on medium and large-scale solar farms, and is of potential interest

Reuniwatt’s innovative ground imager supplies forecasts to IssyGrid®

IssyGrid®, first operational smart grid district in France The IssyGrid demonstration project is operational in Issy-les-Moulineaux (Parisian suburb). The latter comprises more than 1000 connected homes, 5 buildings (including the EFB – the Paris Law School), a part of the city lighting, 2 storage systems, 3 PV installations, 1 Big Data platform and a forecasting system. A new intra-hour solar forecasting method It is on

Smart grids, an evolution of the grid for the energy transition

The 21st century is marked by a general awareness about environmental concerns. Facing these challenges, the EU has adopted ambitious targets for its member countries: achieve by 2020 the "3x20" climate plan, namely: - Increase to 20% the share of renewable energies (RE) in the energy mix - Reduce by 20% the C02 emissions compared to 1990 - Increase energy efficiency by 20% This new

Reunion Island, an insular region with ambitious renewable goals

Reunion Island, like most insular regions, is ruled by a carbon economy which is heavily dependent on oil, imported by sea. But in recent years, the energy transition has become the watchword of these non-interconnected areas. This results into an increasing implementation of renewable energy sources (RES) in these regions. In 2012, this island of the southwest Indian Ocean had a renewable electricity production capacity

Solar irradiance work to be presented at EGU’s conference

Reuniwatt will participate to the European Geosciences Union's (EGU) General Assembly, where it will disseminate diverse aspects of its work on solar irradiance measurement and forecasting to the scientific community. The EGU General Assembly, which takes place in Vienna, Austria, from April 17.-22, brings together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary and space sciences. The

E-World Energy & Water 2016: Europe’s Premier Energy Fair

For the second year in a row, Reuniwatt will be at E-World Energy & Water. This major energy trade fair will take place in Essen, Germany, from 16 - 18 February. Our representatives will present our new products, including dedicated solar energy forecasting tools for energy trading. Indeed, the increasing volumes of renewable energy sources traded on the spot market lead to new challenges for energy trading

Solar forecasts for energy trading

Solar forecasts for energy trading have become vital, in particular with the arrival of direct marketing in France, and the gradual withdrawal of feed-in tariffs across Europe. The number of solar installations connected to electrical grids keeps on increasing around the world. A recent report from the American group Mercom Capital forecasts nearly 65GW of global solar installations for 2016. A growing injection of intermittent
