The Canary Islands’ electricity network is isolated from the mainland grid, so Red Eléctrica de España needs to balance local generation with demand to provide a reliable supply to homes and businesses. The company is piloting IBM® Watson® Studio Local with IBM Decision Optimization (CPLEX®) to streamline the process of modeling and optimizing supply and demand.
In order to render and analyze the prediction and optimization results, a dashboard was built using JavaScript and D3 to display a heatmap of the optimization solutions (above) and a zoomable graph of the electrical demand prediction (below)
