DNI Day-ahead Forecasting with Confidence Factor

TSK Flagsol Engineering GmbH through a cooperation with the DLR (the German Aerospace Center) and sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) has developed a DNI day-ahead forecasting algorithm with a confidence factor for the operation of CSP power plants. This algorithm is integrated into the weather and energy production forecasting system CSP-FoSyS. CSP-FoSyS is both a meteorological and an electrical and thermal power forecast system based on satellite data, numerical weather prediction model and cloud cameras.
