Applications close 17^th January.

A recent Australian Renewable Energy Agency funded project on improving the short-term forecasting capability for solar farms found that the economic benefit of the forecasting was independent of the forecast skill. This motivates research into exactly what is the value proposition for solar and wind farm forecasting, and how does one design the process for maximising value. You will be part of an international team examining this topic. This project will provide you with international and national research and industry contacts, an expert knowledge of electricity markets, and invaluable industrial mathematics skills. The team is led by Professor John Boland of UniSA, and includes Dr Merlinde Kay of UNSW, and Professors Philippe Lauret and Mathieu Davide of Universite de La Reunion, France.
