SYNERGY – INTERCAST PROJECT (Jul/2022 - Mar/2023)
In
order to advance the deployment of intelligent and innovative energy
services, the SYNERGY project established an innovative and scalable reference
architecture and implementation for a Big Energy Data Platform and AI Analytics
Marketplace, accompanied by big data-enabled domain specific applications for
the totality of electricity value chain stakeholders (altogether comprising the
SYNERGY Big Data-driven Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) Framework).
INTERCAST is a response to an Open
Call from the SYNERGY project and it aims to provide a technical solution for
the forecast of short term (24h timeframe) energy flows in interfaces along the
electricity delivery chain. This is particularly relevant for the substations
that form the interfaces between TSO, DSO and Consumers.
The increasing amount of RES
generation and active consumers and prosumers connected in distribution
networks can have major impacts on energy flows at different levels (TSO, DSO
and Consumer), resulting in possible reverse flows.
In this context, operational planning departments need to have adequate and accurate tools that allow to predict not only load at system level, but also at nodal level, including the forecast of reverse flows. INTERCAST project aims to develop such a tool and validate it with operational data, both from SYNERGY project and also using own datasets. This solution encompasses the full value chain, from TSO to consumer side.
