Prelko
Renewable Integration

Forecast the load the grid actually has to serve.

Solar and wind change the shape of demand, not just its size. Prelko forecasts generation alongside consumption and balances against net load, so the steep evening ramp shows up in the plan long before it shows up on the feeder.

Generation modelled

Every source that moves your net load.

Rooftop solar

Behind-the-meter output estimated from installed capacity registers, irradiance and cloud cover, even where it is not metered.

Utility-scale solar

Plant-level forecasts from irradiance, temperature derating and plant SCADA output.

Wind

Hub-height wind speed forecasts converted through each farm's power curve, with cut-out risk flagged.

Storage

State of charge and schedules, so storage is planned as a balancing resource rather than noise.

How variability is handled

Uncertainty is part of the forecast, not an afterthought.

A cloudy afternoon can swing solar output by half in minutes. Prelko widens the confidence band when weather models disagree, and recommendations take the wider band into account.

01

Forecast consumption and generation separately

Each has its own drivers; mixing them hides both.

02

Combine into net load with a joint confidence band

Correlated weather effects are modelled, not simply added.

03

Flag ramps as well as peaks

Evening ramp rates are compared to your fleet's ability to follow.

04

Recommend around the uncertainty

Storage and flexible load are scheduled to cover the P90 case, not only P50.

What operators see

Renewable-aware outputs across the engine.

Net-load forecasts

Gross load, generation and net load side by side for every site and feeder.

Ramp alerts

Warnings when the forecast ramp exceeds a rate you set, with the window and magnitude.

Balancing recommendations

Storage and flexible load plans that absorb midday surplus and cover the evening ramp.

Renewable integration questions

We don't meter rooftop solar. Can Prelko still account for it?

Yes. Using installed capacity by area and local irradiance, Prelko estimates embedded generation and separates it from underlying demand.

Which plan includes renewable integration?

Renewable integration is part of the Utility plan and available as an add-on on Growth. See the pricing page for the full comparison.

Can it forecast our own solar or wind plant output?

Yes, given plant capacity and either historical output or plant SCADA data. Plant forecasts feed the same net-load view.
