FORECASTING Energy Consumption and Generation - IntraDay and DayAhead / Artificial Intelligence
Energy & Utilities
Information
Problem/Challenge
- Current solutions have a significant margin of error (Delta between the forecasted value and the real one)
- On average this Delta is between 20% and 40%...
- This translates into uncessary addtional energy costs, either from energy supply contracts with rates higher than necessary (Delta Negative) or from penalties for exceeding the contracted value (Delta positive)
- In addition, the current systems generally cannot react fast enough to external factors of changes in the consumption pattern, having to make manual adjustments ... (example COVID and changes in production/load, temporary stoppage of a part of the plant, or re-startup of a part of the plant that was on stand-by, etc.)
Proposed solution
- Forecasting of Consumption (and Generation), with very high accuracy (Delta between estimated and real value is reduced/optimized drastically versus conventional solutions)
- Based on Artificial Intelligence Algorithms
- Supports both 'DayAhead' (days, weeks, ....) and 'IntraDay' (prediction within the next few hours or fraction of an hour ...)
fsight.PREDICT uses state-of-the-art machine learning and artificial intelligence technology to automatically forecast electricity consumption and generation for sinble plants/installations, or aggregated forecasting of portfolios of distributed plants
Who can benefit from this solution?
- Utilities
- energy retailers
- energy producers
- network operators
- Heavy Energy-Consumption Industries
- Logistics or large Buildings
Some benefits
- Improve energy forecast accuracy by up to 40%
- Significant reduction of the total to pay of the electricity bill (for Consumption points)
- optimization of supply contracts (for Generation points)
- Improve energy trading strategies
- Reduce imbalance costs
- Adhere to regulatory requirements
