PCI AI
AI That Adds Value
We’re embedding Artificial Intelligence into PCI’s full-spectrum energy software to accelerate high-value workflows and sharpen decision-making. Powered by a tailored mix of specialized agents, machine learning (ML), and large language models (LLMs)—and supported by an AI-ready data layer—PCI AI is delivering measurable gains for leading utilities and IPPs.
PCI AI
A Pragmatic Approach
As a long-term partner to energy companies, we take a pragmatic approach to AI. We embed it where it clearly improves outcomes, choose the right technique for each workflow, and design for trust and impact.
Embedded
AI built into the PCI workflows you use every day—no bolt-ons. Fewer clicks, faster cycles, smoother handoffs.
Tailored
The right tool for each job—specialized agents, ML, or LLMs. Transparent where it matters, efficient where it counts.
Useful
Prioritizing measurable outcomes proven against your KPIs, like time saved, errors reduced and decisions made.
Secure
Trust by design—strong data governance, access controls, monitoring, and audit trails. Built for enterprise deployment.
AI in Action
AI/ML Forecasting
PCI Forecaster® combines machine learning and advanced analytics to deliver accurate forecasts across load, wind, solar, and LMP—consolidating vendor sources, automating scenario analysis, and helping teams make fast, confident market calls
Automated into workflows
Ingests SCADA/IoT/weather data automatically and submits forecasts directly into demand-bid workflows or GenTrader® optimizations.
Proven in the field
GSOC’s benchmarking found PCI excelled at forecasting curtailment windows, delivered lower daily MAE at select sites, and integrated easily via a simple API.
AI Insights
PCI Insights® centralizes consistent, reliable data from your front, mid, and back office into one analytics workspace—and we’re piloting LLM-powered natural-language to make insights incredibly intuitive.
Natural-language answers (pilot)
Ask questions in plain English to find metrics, surface drivers, and draft visuals—grounded in your governed data. (In development.)
Faster reporting
Unify data and streamline report creation so teams spend less time wrangling spreadsheets and more time deciding.
AI-Enabled Settlements
PCI settlements and billing software automates back-office workflows to save time, surface discrepancies, and streamline billing across ISO and bilateral markets. We’re working on AI assistance layered into this experience to help teams triage exceptions and spot anomalies even faster.
Automated charge validation
Reduce manual effort and settlement risk with automated validations, flexible invoicing, and audit-ready workflows—built for evolving markets
AI Battery Trading
PCI BatteryTrader® helps maximize storage revenues in day-ahead and real-time markets—optimizing dispatch, evaluating strategies, and automating bid/offer submission. AI-assisted bidding is in pilot; the optimization and automation are available today.
Smart bidding (pilot)
AI-assisted recommendations for charge/discharge and bids based on price forecasts, SOC, and constraints—tuned to your risk preferences. (In progress.)
Automated market execution
Evaluate strategies for energy/ancillary services and automatically submit optimal bids/offers to multiple ISOs/RTOs, updating intraday as conditions change.
83% Time Saving
Daily forecast submission time at MDU dropped from 90 minutes to just 15 minutes with PCI Forecaster
