Virtual Power Plant Wind & Solar Power Forecasts
Key technologies for renewable energy integration
Challenges arising from decentralized variable energy production
▪ you need to know the current production of your solar and wind plants
▪ you need to know the future production schedule
▪ you need to control your assets as far as possible

Grid-related forecasts
With our predictions of weather-dependent power line capacities and grid loads
we support grid operators in their operations and ensure a smooth integration of
volatile feed-in.
Grid-load forecasts
▪ Proprietary methodology to forecast impact of
distributed feed-in on grids (e.g. substations)
▪ Goal: Avoid overload situations and plan maintenance
periods
Dynamic Line Rating
▪ Forecast of maximum current carrying capacity of
power lines based on numerical weather predictions
▪ Goal: Efficient use of weather-dependent ampacity of
overhead power lines

Virtual Power Plant (VPP) for distributed generation and load
▪ Aggregation of distributed energy
units to single portfolio
▪ Connects to unlimited number
of wind onshore & offshore,
solar, hydro, storage systems…
▪ Integrates power forecasts for
connected plants
▪ Monitors current and future power
output (considering outages)
▪ Remote-controls plants to adjust
power output (e.g. in case of grid
congestions)
▪ Direct interface with power
markets
