The electric power industry has long applied weather information to reduce risk and increase reliability. Under deregulation, decision makers in electric power will become more diverse and decentralized. Reliability may require new tools in policy, technology, and information. In this workshop, participants from the electric power industry and meteorology will build on known needs for improved weather information to advise improvements and demonstration projects in weather forecasting, communications, and decision support tools. Collaborative research projects will be outlined which integrate the needs for weather information with the capabilities of meteorology and information systems. Discussions will focus on projects with a 5-10 year horizon.
Goals
- Study and improve relationships for transferring meteorological knowledge to decision makers
- Guide future meteorological research in societally beneficial directions by establishing a template for collaborative studies in industry sectors
- Form durable partnerships between researchers and industry
- Increase efficiency and reliability of the electric power system
Expected Results
RFPs for collaborative research projects will result.
