Forecast & Optimization

Cooling Demand Score (0–100)

Calculated from temperature (50% weight), humidity (20%), solar radiation (20%), and apparent temperature penalty (10%). Calibrated for Gulf climate with thresholds at 22°C–48°C.

Optimization Strategy

The optimizer identifies solar-rich hours for TES charging, schedules pre-cooling 2 hours before peak-risk windows, and shifts up to 25% of peak demand into off-peak hours while maintaining comfort above 85%.
