Electric Power Distribution & Management

Intermittence of renewable energy generation on a large scale creates a challenge for grid management. To ensure cost-effective integration of renewable power into the grid and ensure supply and demand are met in real time, a forecasting service based on localised climate data is needed. Accurate renewable power forecasts at plant level help secure operation of the smart grid by maintaining a balance between electricity demand and supply right down to the level of distribution branch lines.

With Forkast, you’ll be able to reduce additionnal costs associated with general volatility.

Electricity Trading

Intrinsic intermittence of renewable power production increases the cost of balancing the electricity system. Reducing this cost relies on accurate renewable production energy forecasts.

An accurate power forecast helps asset owners and electricity traders reduce imbalance costs by nominating and trading the power efficiently.

Reduce imbalance costs with easily-implemented localised power predictions for each asset within your power pool. Complete multi-energy portfolios (wind and PV) can be implemented in a few clicks and grouped by balancing perimeter.

Optimise trading strategy by applying probability-based decision making thanks to Forkast’s unique multi-model process: ongoing mean and standard deviation of predictions based on up to 15 weighted weather models for no additional cost

Solar PV control system OEM

Get the edge over the competition by integrating localised power production forecasts into your control systems.

Enrich the end-user experience by displaying anticipated production on the control panel and monitoring software
Optimise battery charging and load curtailment strategies based on tomorrows PV production

API access and automated setup make deployment a breeze while highly competitive tariffs make these advanced features affordable for systems of all sizes

Where high accuracy is a must, real-time production data can be uploaded via API and processed by our machine learning engine to offer accurate, site-specific solar forecasts drawn from up to 15 weather models

Autonomous EV charging station OEM

Provide real-time signalling to equipped EV’s as to when to make use of a given charging station, based on expected PV or wind production and battery charge level.

API access and automated setup make deployment a breeze while highly competitive tariffs make these advanced features affordable for all systems sizes, from single autonomous charging stations up to large clusters with solar shading.

Hybrid System Operators

Intermittence of renewable energy generation creates a challenge for management of hybrid systems.

Using Forkast’s accurate, localised wind and solar production forecasts, operators of hybrid (battery/generator/PV/wind) power systems can apply advanced strategies for optimal power management:

Decide when to curtail or defer heavy loads, and whether to charge the batteries from grid/diesel or wait for sunny weather.
Reduce diesel or grid power costs while minimising black-outs.

Deployment is a breeze while highly competitive tariffs make these advanced features affordable for all systems sizes.

If you are considering installing such a system, use our sizing tool, which applies localised climate data series - unique to Forkast - to determine the optimal number of PV panels and battery capacity to achieve the lowest cost of energy. The tool considers site-specific and user-defined constraints concerning the operation of the system.
