Customer Clustering and Tariff Optimization

Identification and in-depth validation of customer clusters are critical to expand tariff offerings!

Read here how an electricity supplier used Visplore to introduce nine new tariff models through rapid identification and validation of customer clusters from raw smart meter data!

 

Cluster identification & validation
Optimize & expand tariffs with minimal effort

Visplore is a ready-to-use solution for identification and in-depth validation of customer clusters from raw smart meter data – for tariff offering optimization and expansion.

  • Screen thousands of load profiles at a glance
  • Automatically correlate a multitude of customer profiles
  • Explore & identify customer clusters without coding within a few hours
  • Quickly and interactively validate clusters and seasonal, weekly, or daily patterns
  • Assign customers to clusters directly through data base connection
  • Gain deper understanding of differences between cluster
  • Enable the implementation of automated rules for cluster assignments
  • Use powerful drill-down features like calendar views & high-performance time series plots

Validating customer clusters

The widespread adoption of smart meters has provided electricity suppliers with a wealth of decentralized energy generation and consumption data.

However, leveraging thousands of load profiles to optimize and expand tariff offerings through customer clustering based on similarities in seasonal, weekly, and daily patterns, as well as peaks, abrupt changes, and other features, often surpasses typical analysis procedures. Indeed, exploring such a vast amount of time series data is not easily achievable with standard analysis tools used by market experts. Hence, there is a need to identify and validate numerous potential clusters with minimal effort (no coding, short time) to create new tariff options or optimize existing ones.

Visplore reduces these challenges to a minimum – and enables you to identify and validate customer clusters fast and interactively!

 

Why our customers
prefer Visplore

Perfect for dirty sensor data. With Visplore, we give customers more insights for the same money.

When we need it fast, we use Visplore.

Visplore enabled us to gain significant new insights from massive data about the impact of production process parameters on product quality.

Thanks to its ease of use and high performance even with millions of measurements, Visplore has established itself as our standard tool for quality management in plants from China to South America.

Checking and cleaning data from energy systems used to be very time-consuming and kept us from our core tasks. With Visplore, data preparation has become much faster, and the quality of the resulting data has improved.

The good usability and the comprehensive visualizations enabled us to gain a deeper understanding of routinely collected data and their relationships. For example, this increased the quality of forecast models.

Visplore is recognised and in use as a central strategic software for data analytics throughout the company.

By analyzing process data from a large foundry with Visplore, complex dependencies were detected that we didn’t find with other software. As a result, our customer’s heat energy was reduced by around 5% and mold wear by around 4%.

For our thermodynamical simulations, Visplore helps us to identify suitable data, eliminate outliers, and analyze physical processes very effectively.

The visualization is fast and simple enough for live collaboration with the customers, on site. By this, Visplore supports a thorough understanding of correlations, outliers, and anomalies.

Visplore makes our analysis of sustainable energy systems much more efficient.
In addition to the performance for large data, its integration with scripting environments is a big plus.

Visplore allows for a much easier investigation of relevant patterns and structures. Our downstream analysis becomes more efficient and we gain more confidence in the results.
