Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.This study proposes a method to increase the value of solar power in balancing markets by managing prediction errors. The approach models prediction uncertainties and quantifies reserve requirements based on a probabilistic model. This enables the more reliable participation of photovoltaic plants in balancing markets across multiple sites, especially ...
