As markets expand\, companies must actively trade to maxi mize asset value and hedge against risks\, yet many still rely on fragile spreadsheets that fail to scale\, leaving teams struggling to keep pace.  \n\nTo thrive in face of the challenge\, modern energy professionals mus t move beyond simply meeting native load. Today's reality demands active gas procurement\, precise hedging strategies\, and optimal generation ma intenance scheduling. Crucially\, it requires anticipating risk exposure a cross a multitude of volatile drivers: fluctuating gas and power prices\, weather-dependent renewables\, and unexpected unit outages. \n\nPCI GenT rader tackles these challenges by pairing powerful deterministic optimiza tion with an advanced Stochastic Risk Scenario Manager. Using Monte Carlo simulations\, GenTrader replaces narrow\, single-point forecasts with a comprehensive spectrum of outcomes. This probabilistic view of profit and loss empowers your team to make confident\, data-driven decisions on opera tional budgets\, maintenance timing\, and targeted hedging. \n\nHere is w hat you will learn: \n\n Move beyond spreadsheets: Replace fragile\, manual models with a robust\, integrated optimization platform that scales with your portfolio \n Evaluate risk with stochastic simulation: Mo del operations under uncertainty to uncover risk exposure to volatile powe r and gas prices\, load shifts\, and forced outages \n Optimize hedging  and procurement: Leverage probabilistic outcomes to confidently guide natural gas strategies\, procure fuel\, and validate hedge effectivenes s \n Strategize maintenance: Use predictive optimization and risk dist ributions to pinpoint the optimal timing for generation outages\, minimi zing financial impact and reliability risks \n\nWho will benefit from this webinar: \n\n Portfolio and asset managers seeking to maximi ze the value of generation assets in expanding\, volatile markets \n R isk managers and analysts responsible for assessing portfolio risk exp osure\, managing stochastic scenarios\, and producing earnings-at-risk met rics \n Resource planners and operations analysts needing to accou nt for renewable uncertainty\, AI-driven load growth\, and complex operati ng constraints \n Fuel procurement teams and traders looking for da ta-driven\, distributed risk insights to guide natural gas strategies and bilateral trading decisions \n\nRegistrations are manually reviewed and a pproved\, and you will receive confirmation usually within one business da y. Registrants must register using email addresses issued by their employe rs. \n\nRegistration closes at 2:55 p.m. CT Tuesday\, July 7 — 5 mi nutes before the start of the webinar. \n\nAbout the presenters:  \n\n Buck Feng is PCI’s CTO and has been with PCI since 1998. Buck is one of the chief architects of the generation asset optimization model known as PCI GenTrader®. He’s also responsible for the development of PCI’s G eneration Supply Management System (GSMS)\, which is a platform that integ rates asset optimization\, trading and risk management\, market communicat ion\, bid/offer management\, P&\;L analysis\, and settlement functions to extract maximum value from an energy company’s asset portfolio. Prior to joining PCI\, Buck held several key positions at PG&\;E Corporation ’s energy trading and utility divisions. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in electrical engineering (with power systems emphasis) at the University of Oklahoma.  ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.pcienergysolutions.com/wp-content/up loads/2026/06/07-07-26-Webinar-WEBSITE-EVENT-GRAPHIC-Strategic-Portfolio-O ptimization-Stochastic-Risk-Management.png CATEGORIES:Webinars END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Chicago X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Chicago BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:CDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
