Advantages
High-quality forecasts:
> enercast uses advanced artificial intelligence as well as sophisticated physical models to ensure the most accurate forecasts.
Customized quality criteria:
> For optimized forecast quality and monitoring, the customer can specify desired reference values, such as ENTSO-E, or other measurements or aggregations, which will then form the basis for forecast training.
Timely insights:
> Using satellite irradiation measurements, you can get an accurate nowcast of current solar energy production even for plants that cannot be measured directly, e.g., in residential installations.
