Special Session Introduction

Abstract: The proportion of renewable power generation in the power system is gradually increasing. Accurate renewable power forecast can weaken the impact of its strong volatility and high uncertainty on the economic operation of power system. The traditional single static forecast model is no longer suitable for the current complex and changeable forecast scenarios. Multiple information integration, dynamic model combination, prediction error correction and other methods can further improve the accuracy of power prediction. This Special Session aims to improve the dynamic characteristics and accuracy of renewable power forecast.
Technical Outline of the Session: With the large-scale renewable energy integration, the power forecasting errors are becoming larger and larger, which will significantly affect the operational security and economy of power grids. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the accuracy of renewable energy power forecasting, i.e., this special session. The Special Session is about renewable energy power forecasting, which is relevant to the topic "Renewable Energy Integration" of this conference. Excellent renewable energy power forecasting results are the important foundation of renewable energy integration.
