Service: Tool to optimize self-consumption in residential sectors

Responsible organisation: Aiguasol (Private sector)

The project plans to develop a set of tools to facilitate this process, including one that will optimize the coefficients of hourly distribution of photovoltaic generation based (or any other renewable resource) on the electricity consumption profiles of each user. This process is currently very difficult to carry out with the available tools, since it requires knowledge and forecasting of the consumption habits of the users. The new tool will be able to make such predictions, which together with the prediction of photovoltaic production (or any other renewable resource), will allow the calculation of optimized self-consumption scenarios. Thanks to this technology, users will also be able to adapt their consumption habits to promote self-consumption and, in the future, even offer service to the grid to promote its stability. The tool is mainly composed of three modules: recruitment, planning and execution. Although AI will be used mainly in the third module, part of its results will also be used in phases one and two to help in system sizing and optimization, allowing the selection of the optimal number of PV panels. This will be done thanks to the automatic generation of statistical profiles according to the typologies of the users.
