Why do direct marketers need forecasts?
Effective energy marketing and grid integration require precise forecasts. Direct marketers face the challenge of reliably estimating the expected energy production from renewable sources, such as wind and solar plants or biomass plants. This is where forecasts come into play. They enable optimal planning of electricity deliveries, minimise shortages or surpluses in the balancing group, and reduce balancing energy costs.
Efficient forecasting with ifesca.ENERGY®
Our solution, ifesca.ENERGY®, offers direct marketers automated and high-quality forecasting for new and existing plants. Whether for individual plants or cluster-controlled forecasts for PV, wind or load forecasts – the AI-based forecasting system provides a highly scalable solution for every use case.
Benefits for different requirements
- RLM customers: ifesca.ENERGY® automatically recognises industrial processes and draws logical conclusions from them. This makes it possible to identify times of high energy consumption or to take special days into account. In addition, external information such as production schedules can be integrated into the forecasts.
- Flexibility potential: By knowing the power consumption at certain times, direct marketers can make profitable use of flexibility potential with our optimisation tools.
- Risk minimisation: ifesca.ENERGY® makes it possible to predict errors and assess the risk of incorrect forecasts at certain times. Prediction intervals help to identify potential uncertainties early on and minimise the risk.
Optimise energy marketing and grid integration
With ifesca.ENERGY®, direct marketers receive a powerful tool for efficient forecasting. Through precise forecasts, they can optimise their energy marketing, reduce the need for balancing energy and achieve efficient grid integration. The AI-based solution allows scalability for any number of plants to be managed and offers flexibility potential to maximise profits. Moreover, it minimises risks by detecting possible incorrect forecasts at an early stage.
