We introduce firm solar forecasts as a strategy to operate optimally overbuilt solar power plants in conjunction with optimally sized storage systems so as to make up for any power prediction errors, and hence entirely remove load balancing uncertainty emanating from...

With more than 35 gigawatts of distributed solar installed in the U.S. alone, scalable solar operations and maintenance (O&M) and asset management is more important than ever. To maximize portfolio value, operators need efficient methods for measuring the health...
