Renewable energy trading & scheduling

Model renewable assets, manage their economics, and properly assess their risk. Manage new commodities like Renewable Energy Credits (REC) so that you can trade them effectively and remain in compliance with Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS).

  • Model and manage renewable assets, including their daily ISO operations.
  • Manage the trading of complex instruments to create necessary hedges.
  • Manage Power Purchasing Agreements (PPA).
  • Manage RECs, for asset generation, trading, and/or compliance.
  • Assess the risk of the portfolio using risk analytics functions

Energy storage optimization & trading

The rapid growth of intermittent renewable generation makes battery storage a crucial component in your portfolio. PCI’s suite provides the tools you need to co-optimize energy storage resources and optimally offer them in ISO energy and ancillary services markets.

  • Run simulated dispatch scenarios with various DA and RT energy and ancillary service prices to help determine optimal bidding strategies
  • Track state of charge and limit deep cycling events
  • Automate the bidding process using standard templates with varying risk/return characteristicss

Hydrogen storage

Hydrogen optimization

Hydrogen assets such as electrolyzers, steam methane reformers, fuel cells, and H2 capable turbines are the next wave of the energy transition.  PCI is developing the tools you will need to optimize and manage hydrogen resources in any ISO market or regional hydrogen hub.

  • Maximize renewable energy utilization by producing green hydrogen rather than curtailing power
  • Produce hydrogen for long duration energy storage
  • Find new revenue streams for renewable hydrogen in one of many new hydrogen hubs

Hydropower optimization & scheduling

Managing every “drop” of value is critical for hydropower resource owners navigating a variable resource rich and greening electric grid.  Therefore, the guiding tenet for PCI’s Water Optimization and Scheduling module is to be an approachable yet feature-rich application to meet a shifting hydro operations landscape.   

  • Manage storage, tailrace, and reservoir levels to shape hydro generation and pumped storage based on market conditions and reliability requirements

  • Track hydro operations and license limitations across multiple time horizons to efficiently drive operator decisions

  • Enhanced reporting capabilities to easily monitor trends, perform simulations and provide data driven workflows

Carbon intensity

The energy transition is driven by the need to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Whether your goal is to optimize your fleet dispatch with carbon constraints, simulate a carbon tax on your P&L, or simply track stage 1 emissions, PCI’s GenTrader can help with your tracking, forecasting and analysis.  

  • Forecast GHG emissions
  • Calculate and report stage 1 emissions based on actual generation
  • Determine the most cost effective carbon reduction strategies for your portfolio
