Description
Check out this video to watch the Analytics in Wholesale Energy.
The wholesale energy market is complex and constantly changing, making analytics essential for informed decision-making. This talk will outline the analytical landscape of wholesale energy, from market analysis and forecasting to optimization and long-term resource planning. We will then focus on two areas in depth: forecasting and asset optimization of energy storage. Through these examples, we will see how data-driven approaches connect theory to real-world energy challenges.
