Maintain grid balance
Transmission System Operators (TSO) and Distribution System Operators (DSO) are responsible for the physical management of the electricity grid: they ensure the efficient transmission and distribution of electricity. To keep the grid operational, they must ensure the balance between power supply and demand. Contrary to conventional power sources, green power is not dispatchable. Grid operators have therefore to compare consumption with production forecasts to foresee imbalances and activate balancing resources accordingly (storage, energy import/export, curtailment, load shedding, etc.).
Our forecasts help grid operators to:
Foresee the impact of wind and solar generation on the grid
Coordinate the transmission and distribution of electricity to avoid local congestions or shortages
Better manage reserves
Anticipate grid load variations or imbalances to better manage electricity reserves
Example: Intraday and day-ahead forecasts for power transmission and distribution planning
This forecast grants grid managers the visibility necessary to plan power transportation and distribution for the coming week.
