Forecast Optimisation
Corrects the forecasts you already use, whether they come from your own team or another provider, by learning from their past errors.
Works on day-ahead and intraday forecasts. Your workflow does not change; the corrected forecast is sent to you.
Imbalance Optimisation
Predicts the system direction and adjusts the final forecast to minimise imbalance cost. It applies both to DemandCast forecasts and to forecasts that have been through Forecast Optimisation.
