NextDrive Introduces BTM "Demand Response Forecasting AI" Boosts Solar Storage Efficiency by 17%

Jer-Yuan Yan, CEO at NextDrive Co.

NextDrive Co. will unveil a new corporate emission reduction solution at the "2050 Net Zero City Expo" next week (March 19th to 22nd). By pioneering the use of "Demand Response Forecasting AI," it enhances Behind the Meter (BTM) energy storage regulation efficiency, helping companies increase their green energy ratio and renewable energy utilization. According to estimates from actual solar storage sites, commercial and industrial electricity users can expect a 17% increase in annual electricity cost savings.

NextDrive states, "Energy storage keeps green energy within the resources of power scheduling, with AI and systems acting as the brain. Whether it's optimizing electricity costs, reducing over-contract fines, or maximizing the green energy ratio, real-time and precise judgments can be made to manage all resources efficiently."

Based on calculations from actual sites, the "Demand Response Forecasting AI," compared to current scheduling control models in the market, significantly enhances cost-saving benefits for electricity users. With a significant decrease in surplus electricity, renewable energy utilization increases by nearly 2%, and grid electricity consumption decreases.

NextDrive has launched the "Multi-site Energy Management" solution to assist more industries in joining emission reduction efforts. This allows logistics and retail service industries to initiate net-zero deployment with a user-friendly organizational structure for group operations. Headquarters and stores can select system management monitoring interfaces according to job requirements.

From Meter to Cloud Data: Building Infrastructure for Energy Service Providers
Drawing on extensive experience in energy technology verification in Japan and Taiwan, NextDrive will also unveil multiple net-zero cases, such as islanding microgrids and near-net-zero demonstration power plants. The company will release technical solutions, including smart energy gateways that support communication protocols in Japan, Taiwan, and the U.S., the Route B smart meter communication module that passes Taipower's compliance tests, and diverse energy data API services. This aims to integrate complete energy data from meters to the cloud into an arsenal for energy service providers, laying the foundation for industry-specific energy application services.
