Participate in a talk about the economic impact of wind-energy forecast modeling

September 23, 2024

On Wednesday, October 2, at 12:00 pm MT, join NSF NCAR’s Research Applications Laboratory (RAL) for a talk by speaker David D. Turner from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

In this seminar, Dr. Turner will discuss the economic impact of improved day-ahead wind-energy forecasts realized by improvements to the High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) weather prediction model. Dr. Turner will demonstrate that the newer HRRR model version, due to its more accurate forecasts, would save the energy community over $200M per year, and would provide over $100M per year savings for household income.

This is a hybrid meeting: Join in-person at the NCAR Foothills Laboratory’s Large Auditorium room FL2-1022, or watch the live talk online here.

This event is part of the RAL Seminar Series, which takes place every 2 weeks on Wednesday.
