Weather extremes are a threat to the power system, not only due to destruction of hardware, but also due to inadequate unit commitment, grid planning and available generation units. The challenges are broad and reach into the power markets, where extreme prices can be caused by extreme weather events. Knowledge and exchange of information on how to forecast extremes and mitigate effects from such extremes are topics that need attention in the next phase. While there is a strong weather dependency in this WS, the work will be structured according to the needs of the end users, and therefore administered by WP3.

Session on Extreme event definition and forecasting: Not only the weather will get more extreme in future climate scenarios, the impacts on the power system also will get more extreme. But what is an extreme event for the power and energy system: extreme weather, or can “boring” weather with low wind and sun constitute problems too? The session started with a short introduction, followed by an Open Space discussion and presentation of the results in plenum.
