Winter is Coming For Your Balance And How Flexibility Helps
What this winter’s weather means for your forecasts, and how a flexible fleet of batteries, heat pumps and EVs takes pressure off your balance group.
Time: 3:00-4:00 pm CET / 2:00-3:00 pm GMT
Date: Thursday, November 5.
Cold, calm weeks are the hardest test for a utility’s forecast: heating load rises just as wind and solar output drops.
On 5 November, Benedek Pásztor (forecasting) and Moritz Schrader (trading) cover the weather drivers to expect this winter, how we forecast flexible home devices, cases from our trading desk and how flexibility helps a utility stay on schedule. Shivam Malhotra, Head of Power Trading at LCP Delta, joins as guest.
45 minutes, including 15 for your questions.
WHAT YOU GET
A clear view of what this winter’s weather risks mean for load and prices, from cold snaps to calm evenings.
A look at how a device-level forecast is built, with the measured results and the parts we haven’t proven yet, so you can compare it with your own approach.
Trading cases from the desk, including what a forecast miss costs in the hour it happens.
A practical view of how heat pumps, batteries and EV charging move load out of risky hours, and where flexibility falls short.
A chance to put your questions to the people who build the forecasts and run the trades.
