Renewable energies, including photovoltaics (PV), solar thermal, or concentrated solar power (CSP), play a major role in various energy transition policies, primarily aimed at combating climate change (reducing greenhouse gas emissions). Increasing the share of renewable energies in the energy mix requires much more complex management of the electricity grid, as renewable energies introduce inherent variability (intermittency, climate dependence) that needs to be anticipated.

For all solar stakeholders, having a reliable forecasting tool is crucial:

PV plant operators: Anticipating production at all time horizons to fulfill their commitments and avoid penalties. Managing storage/load shedding while minimizing losses.

Aggregators, traders: Having a vision of the market evolution (supply/demand) to maximize profitability in energy buying/selling.

Grid managers: Avoiding grid overload or supply shortages at a local, regional, or national scale.

The API (Application Programming Interface) is an interface that allows remote access to an application's functions or data with a personal user account. CalibSun hosts its SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions on the AWS platform, enabling secure access via the cloud without the need to download software to a PC. All data transfers and storage are executed using secure protocols. However, for isolated sites, CalibSun also offers solutions in edge computing (on your internal network).

CalibSun has designed a single algorithm that processes all the data without a learning phase.

Typically, AI requires extensive training to perform well. Currently, forecasts are based on multiple algorithms that individually process data sources and combine the processed information in the output. CalibSun challenges this paradigm with its unique algorithm that operates without heavy and frequent learning phases.
