As solar capacity grows, PV operators increasingly need to manage curtailment, negative electricity prices and rapidly changing grid conditions. Short-term forecasting can help, but Masaaki Hasegawa, Director at EKO Instruments, argues that forecast performance ultimately depends on the quality of t...
