In early 2012, ISO New England established the Energy-Efficiency Forecast Working Group (EEFWG), which is made up of utilities, regulators, and other stakeholders with expertise in energy demand forecasting programs, to assist the ISO in developing the annual forecast, including data collection, assumptions, and model parameters. The proof-of-concept process determined the types of data elements and level of granularity required to implement the energy demand forecasting model. The next step was to develop data specifications and data reporting tools for use by program administrators and state regulatory agencies. This resulted in the collection of multiyear, annualized data for each program administered by the region’s utilities. Specific metrics included achieved and committed annual and lifetime net energy savings in kilowatt-hours; demand […]

The stigma about the solar energy forecasting is over. That old argument about solar energy being unreliable is getting weaker by the minute, and here comes IBM to knock the pins right out from under it. The company has come up with a Big Data approach to predicting the weather, and the result is a solar energy forecasting system that is up to 30% more accurate than the next-best conventional system. That’s huge news for utilities and other electrical system operators, because it helps them ensure a reliable supply of power while integrating more solar energy. Solar energy forecasting by a very thoughtful machine IBM Research revealed that solar and wind forecasts it is producing using machine learning and other […]

After nearly a decade in which social agenda has marked the economic crisis, have triggered numerous bankruptcies in firms with consequent ERE (Employment Regulation File). This situation has resulted in companies have either closed or have reduced their staff, but in return have a tendency to invest in HR (Human Resources) and work spaces in order to increase the productivity of their workers. We can say that the market for applications and the technology market is developing at the service of productivity. Companies committed to the management of spaces: furniture adaptation to the needs and comforts of workers; and also generate an interactive space where employees can build, have their recreation area, and can reach a point of confluence of […]

Ahead of BP’s annual energy outlook release, E3G’s Tom Burke argues the industry uses misleading metric to dismiss threat from clean sources Sheikh Yamani, a former Saudi oil minister, is famous for having pointed out that the Stone Age did not end because we ran out of stones. He was responding to a debate at the end of the last century about whether the world would run out of oil. It is a matter of energy demand. He went on to say something else, now forgotten. Speaking to the Daily Telegraph in 2000 he said: “Thirty years from now there will be a huge amount of oil – and no buyers. Oil will be left in the ground.” It remains […]

With costs dropping below those of conventional sources, United States had in 2006 his opportunity to invest in renewables. The decline in the price of electricity generated from wind turbines greatly increased the demand for green energy. Wind energy forecasting will come true. When Austin Energy, the utility company of Austin, Texas, launched its GreenChoice program in 2000, the demand for green energy had to pay an extra rate. During the fall of 2005, soaring gasoline prices raised the costs of conventional electricity over the electricity generated by the wind, the source of most of green electricity. This crossing of lines of costs in Austin and other communities is a milestone in the United States to mark the shift to […]

Ability to Forecast Demand Will Advance Energy Efficiency Efforts By law, all residential energy customers in Spain must install a smart meter by 2018. The conversion will produce massive amounts of data utilities can use to improve energy efficiency. E.ON Spain, which supplies electricity, gas and energy efficiency services to more than 650,000 customers, has chosen forecasting technology from business analytics leader SAS to predict short-, medium- and long-term energy demand for marketplace decision making. It will be a major breakthrough in the field of energy forecasting solutions. SAS Energy Forecasting met all of E.ON Spain’s technical and functional needs, in addition to being compatible with existing infrastructure. SAS will allow E.ON Spain to produce accurate, scalable and repeatable consumption […]

The contribution of hydropower varies in its sole discretion, although they are among the plants that can further lower the receipt. The dams built in the second half of the twentieth century are more central role in the adjustment of electricity prices in a liberalized market as the twenty-first century. Although these facilities do not represent the greatest source of light -raro production is the month in which contribute 15% of the system-, market performance and the ability of the companies that manage them have become a strategic tool to bring energy prices, which citizens realize when they get the electricity bill. The more rainfall is recorded, the higher the level of the reservoirs, the better the conditions for turbines […]

Energy demand in the peninsula in November was estimated at 19,834 GWh, 0.2% higher than in the same month last year. Taking into account calendar effects and temperatures, the peninsular electricity demand grew 1.3% compared to November 2014. In the first eleven months of the year, energy demand is estimated at 226,992 GWh, 2.1% more than in the same period of 2014. After correcting the influence of timing and temperatures, demand for electricity is 1.4% higher than in the previous year. With provisional data by day 30, the production of wind power has reached the 3,708 GWh in November, value 26.9% lower than in the same month last year, and assumed 18.9% of total production. On November 21 a new maximum […]
