Our forecasting tools for photovoltaic energy
FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC ENERGY PROFESSIONALS
NEXT, your relevant forecasting tool from 5 minutes to week ahead..
NEXT predicts irradiance and photovoltaic energy production using an artificial intelligence algorithm.
NEXT provides irradiance and production forecasts directly for operators, traders, aggregators, grid managers, or industrials. optimizing photovoltaic power plant management from one site to a worldwide portfolio of PV plants.
- Integrate forecasts into your EMS, PMS, monitoring, and trading solutions.
- Anticipate developments in the photovoltaic energy market and increase the profitability of your assets.
- Optimize storage and load shedding while maintaining grid balance.
FOR PV OPERATORS & GRID MANAGERS
SKY, detect energy production drops using a network of cameras.
SKY is a nowcasting service able to anticipate the solar energy drops caused by cloud shadows the photovoltaic plant.
Through an innovative approach using multiple sky observation cameras, SKY can evaluate cloud coverage, movement, altitude, and thickness, to anticipate short-term power drops from your isolated or hybrid PV installation.
- Maximize solar energy penetration without impacting your industrial activity.
- Manage energy sources with assisted or automated decisions (EMS/PMS integration).
- Optimize storage sizing for hybrid systems.
FOR PV DEVELOPERS
CUBE : valorisation & optimisation du financement des projets.
CUBE is the world's first service integrating a meteorological measurement cabin to refine and validate the energy production potential of a site.
CUBE revolutionizes best practices in estimating irradiance potential for photovoltaic project developments. The one-year on-site measurement campaign, with an autonomous cabin installed during the development phase, allows for proper qualification of your site's solar resource.
- Secure your project with investors, banks, and technical advisors.
- Consolidate financial profitability and reduce project risk profile.
- Optimize storage sizing - hybrid systems & grid.
Forecasting for optimizing energy storage
TO OPTIMIZE SIZING AND OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT
CUBE, NEXT, and SKY, 3 tools for optimal sizing and usage of energy storage.
The 3 forecasting tools optimize storage sizing and usage, helping to make solar energy controllable and competitive.
CUBE helps designing optimal storage sizing and spinning reserve, minimizing infrastructure and operational costs, by avoiding oversizing storage systems.
NEXT and SKY optimize the use of photovoltaic energy and maximize its profitability. Two essential forecasting tools to support storage/load shedding decisions to make solar energy more competitive in the energy market.
