IEA Wind Task 36 Forecasting –Phase II

This poster gives an overview of IEA Wind Task 36 for Wind Power Forecasting. The Operating Agent is Gregor Giebel of DTU, Co-Operating Agent is Will Shaw of PNNL. Collaboration in the task is solicited from everyone interested in the forecasting business. The second phase of Task 36 runs for three years, 2019-2021. The main deliverables from phase 1 (2016-2018) were (1) an IEA Wind Recommended Practice on the forecast solution selection and evaluation process, (2) an up-to-date list of current wind forecasting projects and their main project results, including datasets which can be used by researchers around the world to improve their own models, and (3) two review journal papers regarding the use of probabilistic forecasts and minute-scale forecasting and one Power & Energy magazine publication. Through workshops, webinars and meetings, dissemination of relevant information in both forecaster and end-user communities has been a focus area. Participation is open for all organisations in member states of the IEA Annex on Wind Power, see ieawind.org for the up-to-date list.
