High quality forecasts reduce operational uncertainty in a decarbonizing grid, improving resource flexibility as well as hosting capacity for DER. Recent improvements in solar forecasting have enhanced the productivity of community- and utility-scale solar projects. Forecasting of multi-modal net load signals requires additional data streams but will improve load balancing and PV hosting capacity both behind-the-meter and at utility scale (e.g., substation load). This panel will discuss industry perspectives and ongoing research on net load forecasting.
