Description

The growing penetration of renewable energy in European electricity systems has made meteorological variability a key source of economic and financial risk. Solar radiation, crucial for photovoltaic production, directly affects electricity prices, volatility, and market exposure. Climate change further amplifies this uncertainty, requiring integrated analytical frameworks. This project develops a unified approach combining high-resolution climate data, ECMWF probabilistic forecasts, and stochastic financial models to link solar radiation variability to energy production and market dynamics. The objective is to integrate physical climate processes, power system impacts, and financial risk assessment within a coherent modeling framework.
