ISO Forecasting

Forecasting the Grid, Not Just the Asset.

Leaptran’s ISO Forecasting platform delivers high-resolution forecasts of net load, solar generation, and grid flexibility — tailored to the needs of Independent System Operators (ISOs) and Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs). Our models enhance situational awareness, ramp event detection, and market coordination.

The Challenge

ISOs/RTOs are increasingly tasked with integrating high-penetration renewables, flexible loads, and distributed energy resources (DERs) — often with limited visibility or lagging forecasts.
Common issues include:

Inaccurate ramp event predictions
Overreliance on legacy statistical models
Blind spots in DER-heavy zones (i.e., substations, feeders, circuits)
Difficulty adjusting forecasts intra-day or in real time

Our Solution

Leaptran leverages advanced AI and hybrid models to provide system-wide forecasts across multiple temporal and spatial layers.

Core Forecast Products:

Zonal or Regional Solar Generation Forecasts
System Net Load Forecasts (Day-ahead + Real-time updates)
Load Ramping Detection + Flexibility Assessment
Load Ramping Detection + Flexibility Assessment

Model Capabilities

Physics-informed ML models with real-time correction
Rapid-response nowcasting for grid edge volatility
Ensemble-based error bounding and probability of exceedance (i.e., P50/P80/P90 support)
Deterministic and probability-based forecasting
Ingests SCADA, inverter telemetry, and AMI data (optional)

Use Cases:

Grid balancing & dispatch scheduling
Congestion management and LMP forecasting
Reserve allocation & flex ramp scoring
ISO market reporting and visibility improvement

Built for ISO-Scale Operations

Leaptran’s forecasting platform is designed to:

Scale across thousands of nodes or feeders
Align with ISO data pipelines and regulatory formats
Operate securely within control room infrastructure or cloud-hosted
Support both scheduled delivery and API queries (e.g., hourly GHI/power or net load)

Optional Modules:

BTM DER Inference from AMI Data
Confidence Envelope Generator for Market Use (P50/P80/P90)
Grid-edge Anomaly Detection

Who It's For

ISOs / RTOs: Enhance system planning, dispatch, and situational awareness
Balancing Authorities (BAs): Improve ramp predictions and reserve allocation
Utilities: Understand and respond to ISO-level dynamics
DER Aggregators / LSEs: Align forecasts with wholesale market operations

Why Leaptran

Multiple U.S. DOE-funded forecasting pilots with ISOs
Field-tested in utility grids
Ensemble P50/P80/P90 forecasting engine supports financial compliance
Easy-to-integrate delivery via secure API or SFTP
