Abstract
A method for controlling a power output of a power generating unit is disclosed. An accumulated power output of the power generating unit during a predefined time interval is forecasted. An actual power output of the power generating unit is measured during the predefined time interval, and an actual accumulated power output is estimated for the predefined time interval on the basis of the measured actual power output of the power generating unit. A difference between the forecasted accumulated power output and the estimated actual accumulated power output is derived. The power output of the power generating unit is boosted, in the case that the estimated actual accumulated power output is below the forecasted accumulated power output, and the difference between the forecasted accumulated power output and the estimated actual accumulated power output is larger than a predefined threshold value.
