Case Study
Solarad delivered advanced AI and ML-driven power generation
forecasts to prevent plant disconnections from the power grid,
offering intraday, day-ahead, and 14-day forecasts. It includes
automated email forecasts to local grids/despatch station and
custom accuracy tracking reports.

1. To comply with local forecast regulatory requirements and

prevent plant shutdown, a global EPC player operating a
300 MW project needs to provide accurate forecasts.
2. Solarad proposes using its AI and ML-driven power
At a Glance generation forecasts to prevent plant disconnections from
the power grid, offering intraday, day-ahead, and 14-day
forecasts. It includes automated email forecasts to local
grids and custom accuracy tracking reports.
3. EPC uses solarad forecast to successfully meet the
regulatory requirements and avoid plant shutdown from the
local grid side which was leading to 10% revenue losses.
 The EPC and Owner Requirement
A global EPC 300+ MW bifacial project on 500 hectares
wants accurate solar forecast to prevent plant
disconnections from the power grid along with intraday, day-
ahead, and 14-day ahead forecasts.

Providing accurate solar power forecast during initial months

after plant is built will ensure timely payments to the EPC
with reliable forecasting partner plant does not lose money
due to penalties/ plant shut down. Therefore, onboarding
right forecaster is critical to profitability in longer run.

Due to inaccurate power forecast solar industry experiences upto 10%

loss in margins. This can adversely affect the payments that are
dependent on meeting regulatory requirements.
Solarad’s Proposal
Solarad proposes using its AI and ML-driven power generation
forecasts to prevent plant disconnections from the power grid,
providing intraday to 14-day forecasts, automated emails to local
grids, and accuracy reports.

Solarad provides EPCs with an accurate forecasting system through

its web dashboard, effectively preventing plant disconnections from
the power grid and minimizing losses due to inaccurate forecasts.
The dashboard offers real-time updates on live performance,
including forecasts, power generation in MW, and radiation
parameters in kW/m^2, with insights ranging from intra-day to 14-day
ahead.

Additionally, Solarad supports email deliveries at fixed intervals and

for special instances, API integration with existing SCADA and other
platforms for accessing all parameters, and SFTP support on
request, enhancing operational efficiency and decision-making.
The Result
Solarad equips EPCs with a precise forecasting system via its web
dashboard, preventing power grid disconnections and reducing
forecast-related losses. It provides real-time performance updates,
power and radiation forecasts up to 14 days ahead.

The Solarad forecasting system provides EPCs with highly accurate

forecasts, resulting in minimal deviation and ensuring compliance with
regulatory requirements. This precision allows EPCs to operate within
mandated guidelines, avoiding any penalties or losses associated with
forecast inaccuracies.

By leveraging Solarad's advanced forecasting capabilities, EPCs can

maintain optimal operational efficiency, mitigate risks of grid
disconnection, and eliminate financial setbacks, thereby enhancing
their overall performance and reliability in the energy sector.
Forecast Framework
The Solarad Forecast Framework utilizes a comprehensive
approach to predict solarPV data. It starts by harnessing
satellite imagery, complemented by detailed topographic data.
Integrating these withNumerical Weather Prediction (NWP), the
framework then employs the Solarad Forecasting Model. This,
when processed through the Solarad Weather M.L. Engine,
culminates in a precise forecast for solar power generation.
