Power forecasting & digital grid twin

Nodis supported the implementation of AI-driven short-term forecasting combined with a digital grid twin

Mission

To operate a modern electricity grid with high renewable penetration and decentral flexibility, system operators need forward visibility on both expected power flows and grid topology. Nodis supported the implementation of AI-driven short-term forecasting combined with a digital grid twin, enabling operators to anticipate grid behaviour and act proactively in operations and markets.

Objectives

  • Anticipate grid behaviour
    Provide near real-time visibility on future adequacy, balancing risks, congestion and voltage issues.
  • Support operational and market decisions
    Determine reserve needs, grid losses and sourcing strategies based on reliable forecasts.
  • Create a reliable system model
    Establish a single source of truth for load, generation and storage assets and continuously update & forecast system snapshots for simulations from near real-time to long term future timeframes.
  • Deploy modular hybrid software architecture
    Combine custom built solutions around proprietary grid simulation software to increase flexibility, enable parallel development and avoid vendor lock in.

Our contribution

Nodis delivered the functional and architectural backbone of the platform:

  • Technical leadership and project coordination
  • Business & functional analysis and solution architecture
  • Design of data models, validation logic and integrations
  • Steering iterative implementation and quality delivery

The result is a reliable decision-support environment combining forecasting and simulation for proactive grid management.
