Problem: Inaccurate Forecasting Impacted Energy Trading

A leading utility provider struggled with solar generation forecasting due to highly variable output during peak and non-peak hours. Their legacy solar forecasting software, based on a single regression model, failed to adapt to generation patterns—causing:

Inaccurate solar predictions, often with negative or implausible outputs
Inability to adjust trading positions based on real-time solar conditions
Lost opportunities in energy markets due to reactive, delayed decisions
Grid imbalance risks from unreliable solar generation forecasts

Solution: AI Solar Forecasting Software Built for Accuracy & Speed

JBS implemented an advanced AI solar forecasting solution tailored for utility-scale energy trading. This included:

Financial Drain
Specialized Peak & Non-Peak Forecasting Models
Separate solar power forecasting models were trained for different solar load windows. These models accounted for irradiation variability, cloud cover, and historical site behavior—greatly enhancing accuracy.
Operational Bottlenecks
Unified AI Solar Prediction Framework
The models were integrated into a single, scalable solar energy forecasting platform, producing consistent day-ahead solar forecasts, intraday predictions, and threshold alerts.
Operational Bottlenecks
Threshold-Based Real-Time Alerts
The system was equipped with real-time deviation detection, triggering automated alerts when generation dropped below or exceeded critical values—enabling proactive energy trading decisions.
Operational Bottlenecks
Advanced Forecasting Techniques
Leveraged XGBoost, classification models, and time series regression to predict directional changes in solar output with high precision.
