Silicon Quantum Computing and Schneider Electric advance energy forecasting partnership

quantum computing energy forecasting renewable energy AI chips smart grids

Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) and Schneider Electric have advanced to Stage 2 of the Australian Government’s Critical Technologies Challenge Program (CTCP). The partnership, which includes UNSW Sydney, has received A$3.6 million (US$2.5 million) in funding to enhance energy forecasting capabilities.

The collaboration utilizes SQC’s Watermelon, an atomically engineered, quantum-enhanced AI chip. By combining quantum and classical features, the technology aims to improve the management of distributed energy resources, such as rooftop solar, home batteries, and electric vehicles.

During Stage 1, the joint team achieved an average 20% improvement in next-day forecasting accuracy compared to classical benchmarks, with some gains reaching up to 41%. Stage 2 will expand these modeling efforts to hundreds of homes across Australia, integrating the technology directly into Schneider Electric’s AI workflows.
