ABOUT
Products and service allowing to maximize the profitability of your plants
As a wind or solar power plant manager, you have to deal with the increasingly stringent requirements of the Transmission System Operators (TSO), which may result in you having to pay high penalties and/or be subject to curtailment.
Coupling solar/wind plants with storage systems and/or thermal generators is a good alternative but it is expensive and requires the implementation of a reliable Energy Management System (EMS).
By providing accurate renewable energy forecasts and monitoring power plant performance, our products help you reduce the operating costs of your assets. They also allow you to reduce the constraints imposed by the TSO and optimize the management of the storage system and/or gensets (fuel savings).
Our team can also support you in the development phase of the plant by conducting a large portfolio of studies.
"With the Steadysun forecasting solution, we were able to reduce imbalance penalties by 50% and divide the PV generation curtailment by 4.“
