Primary Customer Segments
Grid Operators and Electricity Utilities (DSOs and TSOs): This segment is the primary target, particularly mid-sized DSOs with over 50 MW distributed PV and over 100,000 metering points (e.g. such as Elektro Primorska, a partner in this consortium).
- DSOs are the direct paying customer and user, focused on managing localized congestion, voltage control, and enabling more efficient investment decisions.
- TSOs benefit indirectly from UC1 and UC2, as reconstructed load profiles and PV production forecasts can be shared as aggregated inputs and pseudo-measurements to support system-level planning, balancing and coordination.
Table: DSO specific use roles and needs to benefit from the service
| User Role | UC Focus | Key Need Addressed |
|---|---|---|
| Network Planning Engineer | UC1: Load Reconstruction | Needs accurate consumption data, unmasked by PV, to accurately forecast future load growth and justify network reinforcement capital expenditure (CAPEX). |
| Control Room/Operations Engineer | UC2: Short-Term Forecasting | Requires highly granular, near real-time PV production estimates to support operational tools like state estimation and congestion forecasting. |
