Addressing utility demand prediction challenges: Integrating solar and wind energy for nighttime reliability
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The transition toward wind and solar energy has created major difficulties for utility companies to accurately forecast and fulfill nighttime electricity requirements. Solar power generates substantial amounts during daytime but stops producing electricity when night falls thus creating essential power shortages. Wind energy remains available at night, but its output depends on both location and natural weather patterns. The research examines how utility companies handle supply-demand equilibrium through their operational and predictive challenges when dealing with renewable energy limitations. The paper examines modern demand prediction techniques which combine machine learning algorithms with weather and load and market data integration in forecasting models. Utility providers can enhance their demand forecasting precision and maintain grid stability through these technologies and strategies which help manage nighttime renewable energy uncertainty.
