Manage batteries with short-term forecasting

Manage batteries with short-term forecasting

Intraday forecasting is increasingly important for PV plant operators seeking to optimise battery management and energy trading.

Solargis provides short-term forecasts to help you understand power output for the coming hours.

These forecasts enable you to manage the charging and discharging of batteries to smooth variability, and shift noon power production to evening hours.

Prepare your next-day production plan

Prepare your next-day production plan

Day-ahead forecasting for a single PV project or a PV project portfolio allows you to better prepare your power production plans, both for submission to the grid operator and for trading.

Improved predictability of power plant operations and higher forecast accuracy reduce the risk of penalties from grid operators due to under- or over-delivery of electricity to the grid.

Solargis data supports forecasting of power output up to 14 days in advance.

Plan your maintenance schedules

Plan your maintenance schedules

With a strong understanding of the future energy output of your power plant, you can schedule maintenance work for times that will have the smallest impact on revenue.

For example, technical maintenance can be scheduled to take place during periods of cloudy weather with lower energy output. Or you can plan for drone mapping when you expect sunny weather and clear skies.

Support grid balancing

Support grid balancing

Power forecasting data is essential for supplying reliable services to the local energy grid.

Solargis forecasting can help you drive better organization among energy system actors and plan around your production for the coming days.

It enables you to better understand your ability to supply ancillary grid balancing services and enhance your relationship with the grid operator.

Growing Pain #4: Effective integration – Managing grid and storage requirements

As solar projects grow in size and number, the challenges of integrating them successfully into national grids increase as well. The intermittency of solar energy requires careful management, and solar developers that under- or over-produce face curtailment and penalties from grid operators.
