Forecast Engine
PV Generation Forecast•••Since the amount of power generated by renewable energy resources is constantly changing,
it is necessary to improve the forecast accuracy. Our AI-powered engine predicts PV power
generation through external APIs such as resource performance data and weather
information, and links the forecast data to business logic.
Our AI-powered forecast engine is a tool that uses machine learning algorithms and deeplearning to automatically make forecasts based on time series. This algorithm trains
predictive models and handles outliers and missing data sets.
Our engine provides 2-day forecasts and the interval can be set on request (ex.30 min)JEPX Price Forecast•••

Provides price forecasts for the JEPX Spot Market.
 Prices：System price, Area prices
 Period：Day, Week, Month
Since the data pattern of the Spot Market is different from PV generation, and that the priceforecast time period is 1 day ahead, we have revised the logic of data modeling, model
algorithms, and config from the PV Forecast Model.
Some of our price forecasts are available free of charge on our website.

Optimization Engine
Schedule Optimization••

Our Optimization Engine creates a demand and supply plan to avoid imbalance, based on
the actual resource performance and the power generation forecast provided from theforecast engine. At that time, the optimization engine can autonomously create control
instructions for resources without relying on control instructions from the grid.
Our business logic checks for supply and demand imbalances every 30 minutes, and if
imbalances occur, returns a response to the optimization engine, which recreates the demandand supply plan.

Payoff Optimization••

Our Engine also creates a trading plan for the JEPX spot market based on the 48-hour
optimized schedule. For the time of the successful bid, the Engine creates a control
instruction for the amount of the successful bid.
The transaction price can be set in the following two ways
 AI-based Optimal price logic: Optimization engine directs buying and selling at a pricethat maximizes payoffs
 Arbitrary threshold price: Instruct to buy or sell at the threshold set by the customer5Ⓒ 2022 Grid Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved.
