On 25 November, the S2S4E project will present its second webinar on the S2S4E Decision Support Tool.
Program:
- The forecasts for the upcoming winter months (December, January and February)
- Brief analysis of past predictions of the previous season
- Question & Answers Session
Participants at the webinar will be able to ask questions to the S2S4E team about the upcoming forecasts presented in the Decision Support Tool. The webinar is free and open access, but requires registration.
Please register for the webinar by 22 November here.
For those who are not able to attend, the webinar recording and slides will be available on the S2S4E webinar series page here. On this page, you can also find the recording and presentation slides for the webinar hosted on 7 October, which included a technical and hands-on introduction to the new S2S4E Decision Support Tool (DST).
Background on S2S4E
The expansion of renewable energy is key to reducing Europe's greenhouse gas emissions, but the amount of power produced by clean energy sources depends on the weather, and forecasts of future renewable power production are often inaccurate.
S2S4E (Sub-Seasonal to Seasonal Climate Forecasting for Energy), a project funded by the EU's research and innovation programme Horizon 2020, is working to make forecasts for renewable power generation more reliable and usable.
To achieve this goal, S2S4E has developed a Decision Support Tool for the energy industry, which is free to use at least until the end of 2020.
The S2S4E Decision Support Tool shows predictions for solar, wind and hydropower generation for the coming weeks and months, with prognosis ranging from one week to three months ahead.
The DST also provides forecasts for energy demand and supply/demand balance, both of which are highly weather-dependent, especially in countries that rely on electricity for heating and cooling.
The S2S4E Decision Support Tool has been carefully co-designed with leading industrial stakeholders to assist in decision-making and become a game-changer for the electricity market.
