Developed a weather forecasting model that incorporates renewable energy data. The model helps utilities and grid operators predict when there will be surplus solar or wind power available, allowing them to better integrate these renewable sources into the grid. The model has been adopted by several utilities in the region, and has helped to increase the use of renewable energy by up to 15%.
