Energy Trading

Tesla uses its Autobidder platform with Powerwall and Megapack to automate energy trading and coordinate storage through cloud-based management, demand forecasting and virtual power plants.

Data requirements

• Demand data (tabular) — Forecasting and trading depend on demand patterns and related operational data.
• Asset and system data from storage resources (tabular) — Powerwall and Megapack operations feed the management and optimisation process.
• Grid and distributed resource data (tabular) — Virtual power plant coordination depends on information about distributed assets and grid conditions.

AI methods and techniques

• Automated energy trading — Autobidder uses automation to place or coordinate energy trading decisions.
• Demand forecasting — Forecasting supports trading and storage decisions based on expected load or supply.
• Optimisation — AI helps optimise the use of distributed storage and flexible resources.
