AI FORECASTING · BATTERY DISPATCH · ENERGY MARKETS

Introducing
Volta 3.

Volta 3 is Delphi’s forecasting engine for electricity markets: a machine learning system built to identify price formation, volatility, and dispatch-relevant market movement before battery operators need to act.

VOLTA FORECAST ENGINE RUN 03
01 / INPUTS Market state ingestion 4,000+ features
02 / SIGNALS Volatility and price formation 5 min intervals
03 / FORECAST 24-hour rolling horizon active
04 / OUTPUT Charge, discharge, stay out dispatch layer

LIVE PERFORMANCE

Forecasting built for operating decisions.

Volta is trained on more than 4,000 market features, generating price forecasts at 5-minute intervals across a 24-hour rolling horizon.

Its edge comes from market dynamics simpler forecasts miss: generator rebidding behaviour, tighter demand predictions, interconnector flows, network constraints, short-lived spikes, and the optimal timing of negative-price charging windows.

In live operation, the revenue gap opens across three patterns: holding charge for price spikes traditional forecasts miss, timing charging around the best negative-price periods, and forecasting short spikes that only last one or two intervals.
