Residential Electricity Consumption Forecasting
The Challenge
Estimation based on static consumption profiles and historical averages prevented optimal distribution. Without a forecast adjusted to real demand, injection into the grid caused high energy losses — and sudden thermal changes or atypical events could not be absorbed.
What We Built
An ML pipeline combining smart meter consumption history, weather forecasts and temporal variables generates hourly demand curves for D+1, segmented by zone. Distribution flows are dynamically adjusted from generation centres to anticipated demand nodes in real time.
Operational Impact
Direct reduction in transport losses, improved grid balancing and full utilisation of energy produced — every megawatt reaching its useful destination.
