Solar PV plants face some pertinent challenges today. Unpredictable and fluctuating future solar irradiance and wind speed are one of them. The present solar and wind forecasting services are unable to provide accurate predictions. Thus, in the absence of standard forecasting projections, renewable energy developers are not able to plan the future production, operations and maintenance of clean energy assets in a better way. Furthermore, it adversely impacts the investability and credibility of the existing and upcoming renewable energy projects, reducing their overall share in the clean energy market. As a result, renewable energy utilities have to bear the burden of hefty penalties for not being able to meet their energy commitments.
