RT Conference Proceedings T1 Solar energy forecasting and optimization system for efficient renewable energy integration A1 Manjarres, Diana A1 Alonso, Ricardo A1 Gil-Lopez, Sergio A1 Landa-Torres, Itziar A2 Kramer, Oliver A2 Madnick, Stuart A2 Woon, Wei Lee A2 Aung, Zeyar AB Solar energy forecasting represents a key issue in order to efficiently manage the supply-demand balance and promote an effective renewable energy integration. In this regard, an accurate solar energy forecast is of utmoss importance for avoiding large voltage variations into the electricity network and providing the system with mechanisms for managing the produced energy in an optimal way. This paper presents a novel solar energy forecasting and optimization approach called SUNSET which efficiently determines the optimal energy management for the next 24 h in terms of: self-consumption, energy purchase and battery energy storage for later consumption. The proposed SUNSET approach has been tested in a real solar PV system plant installed in Zamudio (Spain) and compared towards a Real-Time (RT) strategy in terms of price and energy savings obtaining attractive results.
