KI & Energie

Define the decision horizon and physical constraints. Day-ahead demand forecasting, real-time balancing, and maintenance inspection require different data and tolerances. Include weather extremes, outages, equipment changes, and demand shifts in evaluation. Keep the model within a verified optimization or control boundary. A recommendation that minimizes cost in a simulation may violate ramp rates, reserve requirements, or safety margins in the real grid. Document the assumptions and preserve operator authority for exceptional conditions. Measure energy and environmental effects at the correct boundary. AI computation consumes electricity, while a downstream optimization may reduce or shift consumption. Report both and avoid claiming net savings without a complete enough comparison. Monitor sensors, forecasts, actions, and outcomes. Version weather data, equipment models, and policies. Define how operators respond when a forecast is uncertain or the system enters a condition absent from training data.
