• Generation/Demand Forecasting and Optimization for Local Conditions

  Encored's global weather forecasting provides detailed high-resolution weather forecast for any region worldwide, independent of local meteorological agencies, enhancing the accuracy of generation and demand forecasts. The generation and demand forecasts are utilized for optimizing ESS performance.

  

• Coordinated Control with a Diesel Generator

  Model the fuel efficiency of a diesel generator and the minimum output constraint, combining these with demand and generation forecasts to calculate the optimal ESS schedule. Design PV and ESS capacities that enable stable diesel generator operation by modeling dynamics to mitigate sudden demand changes and generation fluctuations, and validate these designs through simulations.

  

• Independent Operation with ESS and PV

  When sufficient generation is provided by PV, support diesel-free operation using the independent operation capabilities of ESS. This allows for carbon-free power supply, with AI-based optimization executing ESS charge and discharge strategies to maximize operational duration. Validate the stability of independent operation in advance by simulating dynamics to mitigate sudden demand changes and generation fluctuations.

  

• On-Grid Cost Minimization

  Analyze local TOU and demand pricing, and contract terms to make ESS operation schedules that minimize costs when connected to the grid. This is based on PV generation and demand forecasts, and controls the ESS charge/discharge schedule considering utility changes. Implement reinforcement learning-based AI to continuously adapt to changing plan and constraints, allowing the system to learn from data without needing additional optimization modeling for future changes.
