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 […]
