Model DERs, Load, and Solar Forecasting

Develop realistic models for solar PV generation, BESS operation (including efficiency and degradation effects), and variable load demand profiles. Implement short-term forecasting models for both solar output and load demand using historical data. Integrate these models into a Python-based simulation framework that can simulate microgrid operations on an hourly or sub-hourly basis. Use Pinecone to store and efficiently retrieve historical operational data and environmental factors for the forecasting models.
