Innovation Grid

Purpose: Boosting the energy marketing strategy.

Objectives

Adoption of current Machine Learning techniques for application in the forecasting of flows and load used by the DESSEM model (commonly implemented by Eletrobras).

Key Results

  • Technical: greater security in energy trading operations
  • Strategic: Improving the process of forecasting the hourly price of energy, given that the affluent flow and energy demand data are two variables of great importance in the formation of the PLD (Settlement Price of Differences, in English)
  • Economic: less exposure to the market, which could save ~R$ 300k/month
