🌩ī¸ Enhancing Outage Prediction for a Resilient Grid!

Written By Center of Excellence

The UCONN regional weather forecast system currently provides reliable 5-day forecasts, supporting the OPM system in predicting outages up to 3 days ahead of major storms. Findings from recent studies confirm that extending forecasts to 7 days is unnecessary due to reduced accuracy beyond the 3 day mark. 🔎


Looking ahead, efforts will focus on:
⚡ Improving thunderstorm predictions by increasing WRF model resolution.
🌧ī¸ Testing additional physical schemes to enhance forecast accuracy.
📊 Investigating OPM uncertainties in low- to moderate-impact events as part of the WISER Year 2 project.


These advancements will ensure more reliable outage predictions and a stronger, more resilient energy grid. 💡
