Renewable plants, such as solar and wind farms, have power generation that is uncertain and highly dependent on weather conditions. This can result in significant errors in their predicted generation, leading to financial penalties and self-curtailment of renewable energy.

Our project targets this issue of renewable power unpredictability. We have developed an innovative model to optimally size batteries for each plant and manage their operation for better renewable power prediction, consequently reducing penalties and self-curtailment.

This will increase the predictability and profitability of renewable plants, ultimately enhancing power grid reliability and lowering consumer electricity prices.
