Keeping up with the renewable energy transition by Samuel Eliasson Godonou

Keeping up with the renewable energy transition: Using python and forecasting to maintain a balanced Nordic power system.

As the transmission system operator, one of the main tasks of Svenska Kraftnät is to ensure the continuous balance in the power system. This is becoming increasingly complex due to e.g. the increased cooperation between the EU countries, and their energy transition goals. Because of this, Svenska Kraftnät and its Norwegian counterpart is developing a Python based framework for forecasting. By anticipating the imbalance ahead of time, it is possible to automatically procure balancing resources and maintain a stable power system. We will give a background, present the framework and demonstrate some examples and lessons learned from imbalance forecasting.
