The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) will develop a solar power forecasting system that advances the state of the science through cutting-edge research.
The team will develop a solar power forecasting system that advances the state of the science through cutting-edge research, test it in several high penetration solar areas, and disseminate the research results widely to raise the bar on solar power forecasting.
