Abstract

We developed a real-time PV power forecasting system for Tucson Electric Power using a combination of high-resolution numerical weather prediction, satellite imagery, distributed generation (DG) production data, and irradiance sensors. The system provides forecasts with 10 second resolution for the first 30 minutes and 3 minute resolution out to 3 days. Forecasts out to 30 minutes are updated every 60 seconds based on new data from DG installations and irradiance sensors.
