Predictive Insights into Customer Behavior The first challenge was the urgent need to gain predictive insights into customer behavior and the adoption of load modifiers. Yet this challenge was seen as an opportunity in disguise to manage the energy supply optimally through accurate prediction models. While there were some initial difficulties around the limited availability of developer support from C3.ai, it encouraged our client to look for an appropriate solution to creatively fine-tune their algorithms for maximum effectiveness. Weather-adjusted Peaks Synchronization The second challenge concerned reconciling weather-adjusted peaks between the gas and electric systems. Achieving accuracy and real-time data access was paramount for this intricate task. There were a few data integration challenges due to the closed nature of the C3.ai ecosystem, spurring the need to create robust The final challenge presented another opportunity to improve bottom-up forecasting processes by integrating customer-level data. While the C3.ai platform offered extensive capabilities, the need for a public developer community for guidance was felt. Consequently, additional hours were allocated to demand forecasting, which affected timelines and resources. Nevertheless, this inspired our client to strategize and solve for enhanced demand forecasting, driving innovation while resolving the temporary bottlenecks. Leveraging its unique dual role as a C3.ai partner and an experienced data services firm, Fractal proffered a powerful blend of technological acumen and domain expertise to tackle the utility company’s challenges.
