Smarter Energy Forecasting, Backed by Proven Innovation

Leaptran delivers next-generation forecasting that blends AI, machine learning, meteorology-grade weather data, and physics-based modeling into a single powerful platform. Our award-winning engine continuously learns from real-time grid conditions, adapts to volatility, and provides risk-adjusted forecasts trusted by ISOs, utilities, and power producers. With technology validated by the DOE and proven in the field, we help energy leaders move from reactive operations to proactive decision-making with confidence.

AI & ML-Based Forecasting

Smarter Forecasts That Learn From the Grid

Leaptran uses advanced machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to adaptively model solar generation, load patterns, and grid behavior in real time. Our models improve with every data cycle, capturing nonlinear dynamics and delivering more accurate results than traditional forecasting methods.

Key Benefits:

  • Trained on historical and real-time data across diverse weather and grid conditions
  • Self-correcting with continuous learning and automated bias adjustment
  • Handles nonlinear effects from BTM solar, EV loads, and weather anomalies
  • Supports P80/P90 forecasting for risk-adjusted planning

Used in high-DER and high-volatility grids to outperform static models

Advanced Weather Forecasts

Meteorology-Grade Inputs for Energy-Grade Accuracy

Leaptran integrates high-resolution weather data from public and proprietary sources — including satellite imagery, HRRR models, and local sensor networks — to feed its energy forecasting engine. Our platform blends short-term nowcasting with longer-range NWP models to optimize both accuracy and horizon coverage.

Key Benefits:

  • Fusion of satellite, sky camera, and mesoscale numerical models (e.g., HRRR, NAM, ECMWF)
  • Nowcasting module uses rapid-refresh imagery for 0–6 hour forecasting
  • Weather feature extraction (cloud motion vectors, irradiance patterns) tuned for solar output prediction
  • Weather-aware ensemble selection to reduce error under dynamic conditions

Enables accurate GHI, DNI, wind speed, and temperature inputs across spatial scales

Hybrid Forecast Algorithms

Combining Physics and AI for the Best of Both Worlds

Leaptran’s hybrid architecture merges the interpretability of physical models with the adaptability of machine learning. This allows us to handle extreme conditions, ramp events, and unseen scenarios — while preserving operational transparency and compliance.

Key Benefits:

  • Combines statistical, physics-based, and deep learning models into ensemble forecasts
  • Dynamic weighting based on error performance, seasonality, and sky conditions
  • Outperforms standalone AI or physics models under variable cloud or fast-ramping conditions
  • Provides confidence intervals (P50/P80/P90) for each forecast horizon

Ideal for mission-critical applications in ISO/RTO environments and real-time dispatch
