Power forecasting for energy trading is a necessary tool on spot markets.<\/strong><\/p>\n So as to accurately forecast a plant’s production, it is necessary to collect and analyse a great number of meteorological and market data. This will eventually help balance one’s renewable energy portfolio and optimise profits. Energy volumes are then bought or sold in order to match the forecasts as closely as possible. Intraday and day-ahead forecasts, for a portfolio of plants or an entire country, thus represent a powerful asset for energy trading.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> As a joint effort with its clients, Reuniwatt has developed robust and market-adapted forecasting solutions for energy trading. These solutions are available both for the intraday and day-ahead markets.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> The use of power forecasting for energy trading enables to optimise bids to improve portfolio management. That way, the need in terms of particularly expensive balancing and reserve power mechanisms is lessened.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Power forecasts for entire countries or geographical areas permit to anticipate the impact of variable energies on electricity spot prices.
