Grid reliability, planned instead of rescued.
Prelko gives distribution and transmission operators a continuous forecast for every substation and feeder, flags the ones heading for their limits, and proposes the balancing actions to keep them inside. Your control room stays in command.
Three pressures, one root cause.
Reliability
Transformers and feeders run close to rating on hot evenings. Overloads are spotted on SCADA, when the only remaining option is load shedding.
Regulatory reporting
Scheduling deviation, forecast accuracy and reliability indices are reviewed closely, and assembling the evidence takes days each month.
Reactive balancing cost
Last-minute power purchases, deviation charges and peaker starts cost far more than the same energy planned a day ahead.
From system total down to the feeder.
Forecasts are produced for every level of your network and reconciled, so the scheduling desk, the planning team and the field all work from one set of numbers.
How the engine works- Rolling 15-minute forecasts for system, substation and feeder load, 1 hour to 7 days ahead
- Peak and overload alerts against transformer and feeder ratings, with lead time
- Net-load forecasting with rooftop and utility-scale solar and wind
- Dispatch recommendations for storage, demand response and scheduled imports
- Day-ahead schedules aligned to your time-block settlement periods
- Accuracy and deviation reports ready for internal and regulatory review
One platform, every desk in the utility.
Load dispatch centre
Intraday forecasts, peak alerts and recommendations to approve.
Network operations
Feeder and transformer loading ahead of each evening peak.
Power purchase & scheduling
Day-ahead and week-ahead demand for procurement and bids.
Regulatory & planning
Accuracy history, deviation trends and seasonal peak analysis.
Grid-wide, without touching the grid.
Prelko reads from your SCADA historian and meter data, and never writes back to control systems. Onboarding does not require changes to protection or control configuration.
Connect
Read-only historian export and meter data feeds, plus your network hierarchy.
Backtest
Prelko replays the last season and scores against your current forecast.
Shadow run
Forecasts and alerts run beside existing processes so teams can compare.
Go live
Alerts and recommendations enter the control-room workflow, with reporting on.
Utility questions
Does Prelko replace our SCADA, EMS or ADMS?
No. Prelko sits alongside them. It reads data, forecasts and recommends; your existing systems and operators remain responsible for control and execution.
Can forecasts follow our settlement time blocks?
Yes. Forecasts are produced at 15-minute resolution and can be aggregated to any time-block structure your scheduling uses.
How many feeders can Prelko handle?
The Utility plan is designed for grid-wide deployment across thousands of feeders and substations, with forecasts reconciled up the hierarchy.

We backtest Prelko on your own historian data and show how early each overload would have been flagged.
