Abstract

A method, computer system, and computer program product. Weather forecast data is generated with respect to an area encompassing a location of a solar farm by a computer system. Solar power output by the solar farm is forecasted by the computer system based on the generated weather forecast data. Forecasted solar power output data is generated by the computer system based on the forecasted solar power output by the solar farm. A power grid operation, including one or both of a power grid balancing operation and a power grid optimization operation, is performed based on the forecasted solar power output data.
