IHI, Inc. Announces New Peak Prediction Offering for the Ontario Market

ES/Forecaster™ Assists with Reductions in System Peak Related Ontario Global Adjustment Charge

Chicago, May 31, 2018 (Newswire.com)IHI, Inc. announced today a new peak prediction product designed to assist customers in decreasing their Global Adjustment charge in Ontario. The peak prediction software, ES/Forecaster, is designed to forecast the likelihood of peak days and hours and alert customers in time to adjust their energy usage. It joins the proprietary energy storage simulation, design, and operation software suite, ESWare®, developed by the energy storage department of IHI (hereafter IHI Energy Storage).“This new peak prediction service is effective when paired with any form of energy reduction efforts by class A customers, including leveraging an energy storage system or using industrial demand response,” Marco Ferrara, Vice President of Energy Analytics and Optimization, elaborates. “The day-ahead alerts and real-time notifications enable customers to react timely and effectively and gain the most value possible with highly targeted load reduction interventions.”ES/Forecaster provides a day-ahead forecast updated on an hourly basis via an online portal, as well as alerts in high-risk situations. Customers will receive alerts on the upcoming 24-hour peak forecasts, including peak probability information, via email and text. These alerts will be sent out in times of elevated risk of both high peak demand on the day-ahead forecast, as well as during intraday peak hour probability increases.
