Quickstart: FELA Grid Renewable

A minimal example that loads the forecaster, runs one weather input window, and prints the P10 to P90 power band for the first forecast hour. It runs on CPU; no GPU is required.

Install

Pinned versions, runs from a clean virtual environment:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Get the weights

The safetensors weights ship in the model repo (solar.safetensors, wind.safetensors). --weights defaults to the track's safetensors file, or point it at a local path.

Run

Solar (default):

python run.py --track solar --weights /path/to/solar.safetensors

Wind:

python run.py --track wind --weights /path/to/wind.safetensors

The script loads with the bundled modeling.load_model (a few line load) and preprocesses the window with modeling.preprocess_nwp, which standardizes it and validates the shape (it fails clearly on the wrong shape).

What you should see

The script prints the output shape (1, 99) and, for the center forecast hour, the P10 (low), P50 (median), and P90 (high) power levels as a fraction of site capacity, plus the width of the P10 to P90 uncertainty band. Input shapes are solar (1, 6, 20), wind (1, 12, 15).

The example uses a random input window so it runs without a data download. Replace it with a real NWP window (the same shape) to get a real forecast.
