Prof. Dazhi Yang received his B.Eng., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees from the National University of Singapore in 2009, 2012, and 2015, respectively. Currently, he is a professor from the School of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Harbin Institute of Technology. He has a profound interest in solar resource assessment, forecasting, and grid integration. He has been the youngest associate editor of the Solar Energy journal, which has 65 years of history, and since 2019, he has been one of the four subject editors of that journal. He is also the only representative of the International Energy Agency, Task 16, "solar resource for high penetration and large-scale applications," from Asia. In the past five years, he authored more than 70 journal papers, with a total citation of 3000, and an Hindex of 30. In this talk, he should wish to discuss solar forecasting theory and techniques in detail. The content should include: an overview of the field, fundamental forecasting methodologies, and the future trends of forecasting research.
