Abstract
This work presents two large-scale regional models
used for the evaluation of normalized power output from wind
turbines and photovoltaic power plants on a European regional
scale. The models give an estimate of renewable production on a
regional scale with 1 h resolution, starting from a mesoscale mete-
orological data input and taking in account the characteristics of
different plants technologies and spatial distribution. An evalu-
ation of the hourly forecasted energy production on a regional
scale would be very valuable for the transmission system operators
when making the long-term planning of the transmission system,
especially regarding the cross-border power flows. The tuning of
these regional models is done using historical meteorological data
acquired on a per-country basis and using publicly available data
of installed capacity.
