Chronological history of NEMforecast
The following is a brief history of how NEMforecast has evolved over time:
NEMforecast version 3
NEMforecast version 3
February 2009It's early days yet but we have begun scoping out the enhancements we'll add into version 3 of the software, including the Suggestions for Improvements we've received from others - please provide us your suggestions for improvement!
NEMforecast version 2
NEMforecast version 2.1
January 2009NEMforecast version 2 was released (as version 2.1).
This version enhances the value of the software, by incorporating some very significant changes including:
1) We've separated the NEMforecastUpdater from the Viewer, which means the updater can run continuously (in the background, as a service) ensuring your database is always up-to-date.
2) We've moved NEMforecast to SQL server (or Oracle) so you now have no size constraints on storage of historical PASA files.
3) We've separately linked the Viewer to the NEMFutures Updater, in order that you have better access to futures data.
4) We've added a new "Run Comparison" feature, that allows you to compare any two ST or MT PASA runs that are in your database, so you can easily see the differences between each run.
5) We've added in the two different types of PASA run - Reliability LRC, and Outage LRC.
