Case study: Lack of flexibility in European electrical systems leads to deteriorated grid management

How solar forecasting could avoid negative energy prices due to high renewable energy generation. The German market was affected on May 8th 2016 by an exceptional penetration of variable (solar and wind) renewable energy sources (RES) into the grid. The latter represented nearly 87% of the country’s electricity production, causing the occurrence of negative prices of about € -144.78 on the spot market throughout the

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

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 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

Forecasting irradiance using satellite imagery

Reuniwatt places its skills in utilising satellite images in order to provide the most accurate solar irradiance forecasts. Its latest research in this field will be presented at the next EU PVSEC conference, the largest international Conference for Photovoltaic research, technologies and applications, which will take place in Hamburg, Germany, from 14-18 September. Assessing past PV productions Reuniwatt provides accurate irradiance data thanks to

Lepage’s report: a game-changer for the Green Economy

Last January, Minister of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy, Segolène Royal, asked former European Deputy Corinne Lepage to deliver a report on « The New World Economy ». Freshly finished, the report is now on the Minister’s desk since June 15th. The 139-pages report was written with the help of a task force led by Corinne Lepage. The task force was composed of 28 representatives of

Reuniwatt to provide short term forecasts for the IssyGrid® demonstration project alongside Total

Expert in Photovoltaic (PV) energy production forecasting, Reuniwatt signed up a partnership with Total. Reuniwatt will thus provide solar power production forecasts for the IssyGrid® demonstration project. Prior to the agreement, the forecasts were provided every 6 hours ahead and for the day to come. Reuniwatt introduces shortcasting. PV production forecasting: a determining stake for smart grids One of the main challenges of smart-grids is
