ABOUT
The electricity generated by a solar power plant is variable. Indeed, the production of a solar park depends on weather conditions (solar radiation, cloud cover, temperature, etc.), which are particularly difficult to predict. However, for an efficient integration of solar energy in electricity grids and markets, it is necessary to know in advance the electricity produced. For this reason, Steadysun has developed a reliable solar power forecasting solution for producers, plant operators, traders, and grid operators.
This solution is based on a unique blend of products that use Numerical Weather Prediction models, satellite imagery, and ground-based sky imagery to provide highly accurate forecasts for day-ahead, intraday and intra hour needs.
Our forecasting system combines Physics-based modeling and Artificial Intelligence, and cover :
Solar resource and production (GHI, DNI, GTI, AC/DC Power),
Time horizons of a few minutes to several days ahead,
All types of technology (PV, with or without tracking, CSP),
Worldwide geographic coverage,
Any size of installation and aggregation: from a few kW to forecasts for a whole country.
