SLIQ — StratLytics Intelligence for Quantum Grid

SLIQ is a decision intelligence platform for modern energy grids. It enables utilities and energy operators to transform high-frequency operational data into governed, actionable grid intelligence — supporting load forecasting, demand response, renewable integration, and grid visibility at scale.

Energy grids are generating more data than conventional analytics systems were built to handle. SLIQ closes that gap — connecting raw telemetry, smart meter reads, weather signals, and market data into a unified intelligence layer that operations and planning teams can act on in real time.

The Problem

Modern Grids Are Generating More Data Than Utilities Can Use

Electricity grids are becoming increasingly complex. Renewable energy integration, distributed generation, electric vehicle charging, demand response programmes, and high-resolution smart meter data are creating volumes and velocities of operational data that conventional analytics systems were not designed to handle.

Utilities often have the data but struggle to convert it into real-time operational intelligence. SLIQ closes that gap.

Grid Complexity Drivers

What is Making Grids Harder to Manage

  • Renewable energy integration and variability
  • Growth in distributed generation and prosumers
  • Electric vehicle charging load
  • Demand response programme management
  • High-resolution smart meter data at scale
Data Integration

Data Sources SLIQ Works With

Capabilities

What SLIQ Delivers

SLIQ enables utilities to move from reactive grid management to predictive grid intelligence.

Segment customers by consumption patterns, profile types, and behavioural characteristics. Enable targeted demand-side programmes and personalised energy services at scale.

Appliance-Level Insights

Estimate individual appliance use and saturation rates across the customer base. Support product development, efficiency programme design, and demand-side management planning.

Customer Behaviour Analytics

Analyse time-of-use patterns, peak demand behaviour, and seasonal consumption shifts from AMI data. Provide the customer intelligence needed to design effective demand response and tariff strategies.

Non-Technical Loss Detection

Identify anomalous consumption patterns indicative of non-technical losses, meter tampering, or data quality issues. Reduce revenue leakage through data-driven anomaly detection at scale.

Network Load Profiling

Aggregate smart meter data into substation and feeder level load profiles. Support network planning, capacity investment, and operational decision-making with high-resolution demand visibility.

Forecasting

Load Forecasting

From same-day dispatch forecasting to multi-week planning horizons — SLIQ delivers accurate demand intelligence at every timescale.

Short-Term Forecasting

Hours-ahead demand forecasting for operational dispatch, balancing, and real-time grid management. Combines historical consumption, weather nowcasting, and intraday signals to produce accurate near-term demand curves.

Medium-Term Forecasting

Weeks-ahead planning forecasts supporting procurement, generation scheduling, and demand response programme activation. Extended forecast horizons account for seasonal patterns, weather forecasts, and economic signals.

Renewable Integration Challenges

Renewable variability creates forecast uncertainty that conventional models were not designed to handle. SLIQ incorporates solar irradiance, wind forecasts, and generation profiles to account for the impact of distributed and utility-scale renewable output on net demand.

Demand Variability & Uncertainty

Probabilistic demand forecasts quantify uncertainty ranges and tail risks, not just point estimates. Decision-makers get actionable confidence intervals to support risk-aware dispatch and procurement decisions.

EV Load Modelling

Electric vehicle charging represents a growing and highly variable new demand source. SLIQ models EV adoption and charging behaviour patterns to quantify their impact on local and network demand forecasts.

Forecast Accuracy Monitoring

Continuous tracking of forecast accuracy metrics including MAPE, RMSE, and bias. Automated model retraining triggers and performance dashboards ensure forecasting models remain calibrated as grid conditions evolve.

Demand Response

Demand Response Optimisation

SLIQ enables utilities to design, operate, and evaluate demand response programmes with data-driven precision — from customer targeting to post-event settlement analytics.

Peak Load Management

Identify and quantify flexible demand available to shed or shift during peak events. Model peak load duration curves and prioritise demand reduction interventions by cost-effectiveness and reliability.

Grid Balancing Analytics

Provide the analytics layer to support real-time grid balancing decisions, including identification of flexible loads, quantification of available demand reduction, and coordination of dispatch across multiple programmes.

AI-Driven Dispatch

Optimise dispatch decisions across demand response assets using AI models that account for participant response probabilities, programme costs, and grid constraints. Maximise reliability while minimising dispatch costs.

Customer Segmentation for DR Programmes

Segment customers by flexibility potential, response reliability, and participation history. Target demand response recruitment and programme design at customers most likely to provide reliable, cost-effective flexible capacity.

Event Evaluation & Settlement

Measure actual demand reduction against counterfactual baselines at participant level. Automate settlement calculations and produce event performance reports to support programme optimisation and contract management.

Programme Performance Analytics

Track demand response programme KPIs including participant retention, response reliability, and MW delivered. Use performance analytics to improve programme design, identify high-value participants, and report outcomes to regulators.
