ClimateHub: Seasonal to Decadal Predictions for National Renewable Energy Management
ClimateHub, the National Collaboration Programme (NCP) in Greece aims at delivering innovative services to national authorities regulating the energy sector by developing climate-based tools and services building on the C3S experience. As a service provider, ClimateHub fills the knowledge and service gap on climate information at time scales exceeding the typical weather forecast. Through a co-design approach, ClimateHub has identified three applications where public authorities have virtually no access to climate-related impacts on the renewable energy sources (RES) sector at seasonal and decadal time scales, (a) energy demand, (b) solar power and (c) wind power. This study addresses the performance of ECWMF SEAS5 seasonal and the CMCC-CM2-SR5 decadal prediction systems over Greece, for near-surface temperature.
