We are researching quantitative solar nowcasting to accelerate the energy transition.
By researching the power of quantitative models, we aim to deliver accurate short-term solar irradiance forecasts (up to 6 hours ahead). With our forecasts, our goal is to help asset managers to anticipate cloud movements and optimize their renewable energy yields.
Solar energy is powering the world...
Solar power is rapidly becoming the global standard. In 2016, installed photovoltaic capacity stood at just 228 GW globally. Today, the global capacity is surpassing the 3,000 GW mark. Renewables are becoming the standard, but rapid cloud-cover movement introduce instability to the grid. That's why we are researching solar nowcasting. With our solar nowcasts we aim to improve solar nowcasting, reducing imbalance on the grid.
And we power the meteorology
The SNCAST-26 engine is our high-resolution quantitative weather model engineered for real-time solar irradiance nowcasting. Where traditional weather models struggle with rapid cloud formation, our engine tracks cloud advection while remaining it's spatial accuracy.
Our SNCAST-26 processes satellite images every 15 minutes, and can make real-time forecasts. SNCAST-26 thereby eliminates data latency and provides the precision required for modern grid balancing.
