Bridging the fields of renewable energy and meteorology leads to better energy forecasting and technological innovation.
Many countries are rapidly shifting their energy generation from fossil fuels to renewable sources like wind and solar. While these have many advantages, they are also dependent on weather for their output. To reduce uncertainty and improve energy production, the field of energy meteorology has been developed to analyze and forecast weather patterns and their effects on renewable energy systems.
Schroedter-Homscheidt et al. discussed the trajectory of this field, summarizing its current capabilities and highlighting future challenges and directions for growth. They want to facilitate collaboration in energy meteorology in response to its expected increase in importance.
Currently, energy meteorology is used…
