In the current era of the energy system, control centers play a fundamental role, functioning as the brain that manages both energy production and the balance of the electrical grid. These centers, located in transmission system operators and large companies in the sector, are responsible for making critical real-time decisions based on a vast volume of data. Their work goes beyond simply balancing supply and demand; it involves complex management that requires accurate forecasts on multiple variables, such as renewable production, electrical demand, and weather conditions.
As the electrical system becomes increasingly renewable and decentralized, the importance of having accurate forecasts becomes evident. Any error in estimating solar or wind production can result in critical mismatches in the grid, potentially compromising the stability of the energy system. A recent example of this need arose during a heatwave in Europe, where an increase in electric demand and potential cooling issues at thermal power plants were anticipated. As forecasted, electricity prices reached extreme levels, and some nuclear plants were forced to reduce their output.
The blackout situation in Spain on April 28 also highlights the importance of good coordination and the quality of forecasts. This incident tested the resilience of the system, raising questions about whether estimates had been done properly and if demand had been underestimated, as well as about the coordination among the different stakeholders involved.
In this context, digitization and the use of artificial intelligence emerge as essential tools to improve the effectiveness of control centers. These technologies enable deeper data analysis and a quicker, more coordinated response to critical situations. It is crucial for these centers to adopt advanced solutions that allow them to anticipate the system’s volatility and optimize their resources effectively.
Given the urgency of the energy transition and decarbonization, it is essential that these strategic nodes have the right tools to ensure efficient management that prevents blackouts and ensures supply stability. In this regard, AleaSoft Energy Forecasting offers methodologies that integrate artificial intelligence, allowing control centers to operate with greater precision in complex and changing scenarios.
Additionally, on July 10, AleaSoft will host a webinar analyzing the outlook for the European energy market, as well as storage and financing for projects, addressing the challenges and opportunities facing the sector. This event will serve as a platform to discuss the evolution of markets and the status of energy storage, crucial aspects in the current transformative landscape of the energy sector.
