Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM®) is showing what’s possible when utilities modernize their service request process. With more than 12,000 requests each year, from new home connections to complex commercial upgrades, PNM needed a better way to manage the...
This week, we’re pleased to present a guest post from GroundWork® Renewables’ Director of Data and Analytics Julie Chard. At GroundWork, we’re committed to delivering high-quality solar-meteorological (MET) data to reduce uncertainty in solar resource assessments. With more than 15 years of experience supporting the solar development community, our observational MET programs combine best-in-class equipment and […]
PV forecasts are important for energy scheduling and grid stability. Traditional methods for near-term forecasts involve blending an ensemble of Numerical Weather Predictions (NWPs) into a single deterministic output, which is favored because it is simple to implement in operations. However, deterministic forecasts do not convey any information about marginal risks or the propensity for […]
