PCI manages and optimizes the Electric Power Utilities' resources for both conventional and renewable[1].
Platform Systems
Generation Optimization System
The optimization subsystem, GenTrader, is the subsystem that creates short-term and long-term plans to start/stop or Unit Commitment and run their Power Generators Portfolio to minimize the cost of production as the goal using the Linear Programming (LP) techniques[2].
Power Market Bidding System
The power market bidding system, GenManager, is the subsystem that automates the power bidding on both Generation and Load using the BidFormulator engine to construct the payload for the electricity market submission. The system supports the bidding submission of the Day Ahead and Real-time system. The data are prepared via the mapping of the physical generation and load resources against the market commercial modelings registered in the power markets. Users can construct bidding strategies in various ways depending on the goal of the business requirements. The system supports the market biddings in CAISO, ERCOT, ISONE, MISO, NYISO, PJM, SPP, and Mexico.
Outage Management System
The outage management system provides the means to communicate the outage schedules between the power utilities and the markets' outage report system and NERC GADS system.
Energy Trading and Scheduling System
The energy trading and scheduling, or ETRM, or Deal Management System[3] supports the power trading opportunities recording and distributing between the power utilities.
