What is Forecast?
2
Forecast is a Prediction of a variable (value, vector or matrix)
considering other similar or dissimilar variable (s) and/or parameters
•What•Why•When•Where•How
3
What to Forecast……
– Supply side
• Wind Power generation
• Solar Power generation
–Demand side
• Load Forecast
4
Why Solar, Wind ? Clean but Variable
5
20% to 40% Renewable energy is wasted due to variability
Variability in Solar
6
Sun does not shine at night, and there are cloudy days

Variability in Wind
7
There are days-long lulls in wind power

Why to Forecast? Grid Stability

Need some regulation

Wind & Solar Power Forecasting Regulation
The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), India hasfinalized the mechanism for Forecasting, Scheduling and DeviationSettlement of wind & solar projects at Inter-State level.
The CERC has issued the Indian Electricity Grid Code (ThirdAmendment) Regulations, 2015 (IEGC) and Deviation SettlementMechanism and related matters (Second Amendment), Regulations 2015(DSMR)respectively.
The mechanism is applicable from November 1, 2015.

Wind & Solar Power Forecasting Regulation
Key features of the mechanism : The mechanism shall be applicable to Wind and Solar Generators.
Scheduling of Wind & Solar Generators have been made mandatory.
The maximum number of revisions has been increased from 8 to 16.
A new forecast error computation formula has been formulated, which is: =100*(Scheduled Generation-Actual Generation)/Available Capacity.
The penalties for deviation have been computed as per Power Purchase Agreements and shall be leviedfor deviation beyond +/-15%

• Plant level (same IPP)
• Plant(s) level ( different IPPs)
• Aggregate level

• Forecast Function is Non-Linear
• Above relation is Stable to Linear Transformation of Error
• Propagation of Uncertainty can create false precision

Forecast Error and Accuracy
21
Forecast Error• Average Error
– MAE & Normalized MAE
– RMSE & Normalized RMSE
• Point Error (Time block wise error)
– Based on forecast value
– Based on available capacity

Forecast Accuracy vs Penalty for New Regulation
25
Average Penalty per kw-Hr of Installed Capacity
An example for Wind Forecast
26
For CERC Regulation considering PPA = INR 5.00/kW-Hr, the slab wise and total penalties are as follows for 27.4 MW Wind Plant

What effects the accuracy?
• Model limitations
• Chaos
• Data & Data analysis uncertainties
32
Uncertainty of Forecast
• Requirement of more variables or less variables
• Is uncertainty grows with data complexity or data complexity
reduces uncertainty
• Uncertainty of data availability and uncertainty of forecast
33
Who is responsible for Low Accuracy & False Precision?
• Power generators if they do not share the value of Available Capacity
• Power generators if they do not share their correct Schedule
• Forecast & Scheduling Service providers if their accuracy is low and produce fake precision
Forecasting is computationally expensive, but if the Energy Accuracyis below a certain level (say 85%-90%), Power Generators may chargeF&S Service providers for Low Accuracy and False Precision
