Energy Platform
Renewable generation, electric vehicles and changing consumption patterns make electricity networks harder to predict. Network operators need to understand what is driving power flows, anticipate where capacity will be under pressure and assess their options before a problem occurs.
Sia’s Energy Platform brings these tasks together in a modular suite of AI tools for grid operations and planning. It combines network and weather data with forecasting models, visual dashboards and simulations, helping teams understand current conditions and prepare for what comes next.
- Network visibility. Explore power flows through interactive maps and load curves. Compare historical measurements with forecasts to understand how conditions vary across the network and over time.
- Separate demand from generation. Break down measured power flows into electricity consumption and local production, giving operators a clearer view of the factors behind changes in network load.
- Demand and generation forecasting. Predict electricity consumption and the power supplied by connected generation assets. Models account for weather, calendar effects and network conditions, with generation forecasts calibrated to the relevant technology.
- Automatic forecast adjustment. Update demand and generation forecasts when actual conditions diverge from predictions, helping teams respond to unexpected events or longer-term changes in behaviour.
- Congestion anticipation. Identify substations at risk of exceeding capacity in the coming days. Assess when a constraint may occur and the scale of the response needed to address it.
- Contingency simulation. Test the impact of an asset failure, the addition or removal of equipment, or a transfer of load between substations. Compare scenarios to prepare emergency plans and understand how each option affects the network.
Energy Platform helps utilities turn network data into operational decisions, from managing daily constraints to assessing future capacity needs. Its modules can be combined around the operator’s priorities, with a shared view for control-room engineers and planning teams.
