Estonia’s national transport model, LAAM, is being developed to answer a practical question: how will people actually move around the country? Which roads will get congested in ten years? Where is a bus route missing? What happens to traffic if a new road or railway is built? It’s the tool that will let the people
For someone with hearing loss, sounds like a smoke alarm or doorbell can be life-critical information. That’s why Estonian company Soundfree, in collaboration with STACC, is developing an AI-powered solution that can recognize important household sounds. STACC’s data scientist Johanna Kaare developed an initial algorithm that automatically extracts the relevant signal from a user-recorded audio
As solar power capacity continues to grow across Estonia and Europe, knowing how much sunlight actually reaches the ground becomes increasingly important. Accurate irradiance estimates help solar park operators monitor production, detect faults, and improve energy planning. Yet measuring sunlight everywhere with ground instruments alone is impossible. The challenge lies in estimating Surface Solar Irradiance
The energy sector is changing fast. Daily headlines about green transition strategies, geopolitical shifts, and supply security make that clear. The transition to a carbon-neutral economy and local energy independence both depend on our ability to integrate renewables into existing power grids. Today, grid operators manage renewable energy influx using a “static maximum” approach. Connection
Every solar and battery sales engineer in the Baltics knows the moment: you’re twenty minutes into a meeting with a promising customer. A logistics company, a dairy farm, a developer planning solar on a new commercial rooftop. And they ask the question that decides everything: so, what’s the payback time? You have two options: give
Many products and services fall short not because they’re unneeded, but because the user experience isn’t smooth or engaging enough. Analyzing user behavior helps reveal where a product excels – and where it needs improvement. A great example of this approach is a collaboration on the Multiplication Game. STACC analyzed user data to provide the
As the share of renewable energy continues to grow, the need for large-scale energy storage solutions becomes increasingly critical. Ensuring energy security and maximizing profitability requires careful, data-driven planning of investments in energy production, storage, and consumption. Long-term decisions demand robust calculations – presented in a way that enables all stakeholders to make swift and
Artificial intelligence projects are becoming an essential part of digital transformation, but ensuring their success requires more than just cutting-edge technology. At STACC, we’ve seen firsthand that successful AI implementations depend on clear goals, strong collaboration, and a structured approach. The building blocks of a successful AI project A well-executed AI project starts with a
The electricity market has developed rapidly in recent years, creating new opportunities but also bringing complex challenges. Market participants must manage vast amounts of data daily – from real-time prices and consumption forecasts to production volumes. In such conditions, manual data processing is both time-consuming and prone to errors, directly impacting a company’s efficiency and
High-quality data is essential for successfully applying machine learning or AI and building reliable, efficient systems. In retail, where quick decision-making and precision directly impact a company’s profitability, data quality is critical. However, data is rarely perfectly structured, consistent, or error-free. The success of machine learning and AI projects heavily depends on thorough data cleaning.
