Predicting short-term energy generation is not an easy task. Renewable energy cannot be produced on demand, as it is bound to natural resources such as the wind and sun. Therefore, to achieve a stable network and enough power generation, we need a reliable short-term prediction method. In a cross-collaborative research project led by myself from the side of Monash University, Australia, I worked with Worley and Palisade Investment Partners to carry out the necessary trials to solidify more accurate ‘five-minute ahead’ self-forecasting tools.
