Foster solar and wind energy integration with improved cost structures and accurate renewable forecasts.
In remote areas, hybrid power plants play a key role to meet decarbonization commitments, cutting energy costs, and reducing exposure to volatile fuel prices.
However, replacing diesel or heavy fuel oil (HFO) generators with solar or wind remains a challenge due to the inherent variability of these energy sources. While batteries can help stabilize the grid, they significantly increase capital expenditures (CAPEX).
That’s where high precision renewable energy forecasting becomes a game-changer.
Solar output can drop by up to 80% in a matter of minutes due to cloud cover.
To avoid blackouts, gensets are often kept running well below their optimal efficiency, ready to ramp up instantly. At the same time, solar production is frequently curtailed to protect grid stability — meaning clean energy is wasted.
With advanced forecasts you gain the visibility needed to make smarter operational decisions. By anticipating weather variability — minutes to hours in advance — our energy forecasting solutions enable smarter scheduling and control of generators. This means:
While batteries are one option to absorb variability, they come at a high costs.
Instead, by simulating hybrid energy systems using historical data, forecasts, and smart EMS strategies, we help you optimize plant sizing and control — ensuring reliable, low-cost electricity tailored to demand.
Solar or wind forecasting is complementary and essential to optimize the management and sizing of hybrid systems.
