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.
