Reuniwatt places its skills in the domain of solar energy production forecasting at the service of energy trading. Its dedicated products are\u00a0presented at the next E-World energy & water exhibition, which take\u00a0place in Essen, Germany, from 10-12 February.<\/p>\n
Solar power on the rise in German\u2019s open market<\/strong><\/p>\n With a 36% increase of its directly marketed solar capacity in 2014, Germany marks a step forward in the implementation of new business models for the integration of renewables in the wholesale market. Recent evolutions of Germany\u2019s subsidizing policy (EEG 2014) also confirm that inclination. The trend is bound to increase this year, with direct marketing made mandatory for the majority of new PV plants.<\/p>\n A widespread need for forecasting<\/strong><\/p>\n While a rising photovoltaic capacity is marketed directly, the issue of managing the predictability of intermittent energy sources has become essential. \u201cAccurate forecasting of output is a vital part of the system operator\u2019s toolbox for balancing, especially for those with ambitious variable renewable energy targets,\u201d<\/em> mentions a report from the International Energy Agency (IEA). More generally, all the stakeholders in the solar energy value chain require solar energy to be made as reliable as possible. In this context, Reuniwatt\u2019s exclusive forecasting tool Soleka<\/a> combines several technologies to offer the best precision in accordance with the stakeholders\u2019 diverse needs. Indeed, energy producers demand local forecasts, whereas traders are more interested in area forecasts, allowing them to optimize their bidding strategies.<\/p>\n
