Overview

Developing the Hybrid Renewable Energy Forecasting System (HYREF) demonstrator to support simulation and projection services that are part of the DRE digital ecosystem.

With Destination Renewable Energy (DRE) you can forecast and evaluate the potential of renewable energy production based on real-time and historical environmental data. The Destination Renewable Energy (DRE) Service is a digital solution that:

Provides solar and wind resource assessments using historical CAMS data ERA5 reanalysis data for and meteorological parameters such as radiation and wind speed.
Delivers 2-day forecasts for Global Horizontal Irradiance, solar and wind power output based on Digital Twin data.
Integrates user-specific data for tailored simulations of energy systems

DRE enables dynamic visualization of results, including time-series plots and graphs, while ensuring data availability and protection through advanced identity and access management.
