Christopher StreeterChief Information Officer + Chief Risk Officer
Grid peaks are becoming increasingly aberrant. In addition to changing weather patterns (including extreme weather events), more customers are actively managing their loads during peak periods. The result: grid peaks are experiencing greater volatility and peak prediction requires increasing sophistication. In Ontario, PEAK IQ is 25% more accurate at peak prediction than public market forecasts.
How PEAK IQ Works
PEAK IQ is the result of seven years of development by Convergent’s Asset Management team. Our proprietary algorithms draw data from the grid operator, weather stations, and energy markets, to make data-driven, real-time decisions about when to dispatch our systems to maximize value for our customers.
