Probabilistic Wind and Solar Power Predictions

The added value of probabilistic wind and solar power predictions with respect to deterministic forecasting is demonstrated. A review of the current state-of-the-science approaches to generate probabilistic predictions and uncertainty quantification is provided, follow by an example of a comparison of probabilistic vs. deterministic estimates based on real data.
