AI-powered Energy Forecasting & Dispatch System

• Renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro) is growing rapidly in India, but its intermittency creates grid instability.
• Fossil fuels, especially coal, still dominate power generation, providing over 60% of India’s electricity.
• Due to poor balancing and forecasting, a significant portion of renewable energy is wasted (curtailed).
• This results in higher operational costs, excessive coal burning, and avoidable CO₂ emissions.

An AI-powered Smart Dispatch System that:

• Forecasts renewable generation using weather, historical, and real-time data.
• Predicts demand patterns with machine learning models.
• Optimizes dispatch of renewables and fossil backup in real-time.
• Ensures grid stability by dynamically balancing supply and demand.
• Reduces reliance on costly and polluting fossil fuel reserves.

• 30% of power capacity is renewable, but actual utilization is far lower due to balancing inefficiencies.
• Fossil fuels still account for over 60% of India’s electricity.
• Growing demand means coal plants continue to run as backup, even when renewable supply is available.
• Result: energy wastage, higher emissions, and billions in added fuel costs annually.

With AI-optimized dispatch:

• 20–25% reduction in fossil fuel dependency through smarter integration of renewables.
• Lower renewable wastage by forecasting supply-demand gaps in advance.
• More resilient grid operations, reducing risks of blackouts.
• Reduced costs for utilities and consumers.
• Significant emission reductions, aligning with India’s climate goals.

Current system keeps coal plants running as spinning reserves (backup). Our AI solution enables dynamic ramping down of coal units when renewable forecasts are accurate.

Benefits:

• Lower fuel consumption & costs.
• Fewer CO₂ and SO₂ emissions → cleaner air and healthier communities.
• No compromise on reliability → backup only when genuinely required.

• Scalable solution: works for large states, city grids, and even rural microgrids.
• Enables faster adoption of 100% clean energy with affordability and reliability.
• Supports India’s net-zero transition by reducing coal reliance without economic disruption.
• Provides actionable insights to policymakers and DISCOMs (distribution companies).
