Forecasting & Analytics

Confidential & Proprietary Document

 Solar PV Power Forecasting
Forecasting requirements as per CERC:
• A day ahead power forecast on a minute
wise historical dataset with a resolution of
15 minutes interval

• 16 revisions in a day (maximum)

Our approach:
• Ensemble Forecasting: Process of creating
multiple models and combining them to
produce a desired forecast output
Why Ensemble Forecast Engine?
• Powerful technique to increase accuracy on
a variety of Machine Learning techniques

• Better predictive performance than any of

the constituent learning algorithms
