Decision-Native Energy Platform

Forecast, act, and reconcile for storage, VPP, and large-load portfolios.

Mechanisms & landscape

From time-of-use to spot: a twin overhaul of system and markets

Variable renewables steepen and destabilise net load; operations shift from “generation follows load” to “co-optimised generation, grid, load and storage”. Pricing moves from administration to time-of-use plus spot clearing, making price the primary allocation language.

Core logic
  • Energy form → system → market: physics reshapes operations and market design
  • Volatility as default: net-load troughs and peaks intensify
  • Price tells the truth: signals guide actions and settlement
System operations
  • Legacy: generation follows load (dispatchable thermal backstop)
  • Now: coordinated generation-grid-load-storage (flex thermal / pumped hydro / interties / DR / storage)
Market design
  • Past: planned / catalogue tariffs
  • Transition: time-of-use pricing
  • Present: spot market (day-ahead / intraday / real-time clearing → settlement)

Stakeholders

If you trade spot, you need foresight

Same signals, different actions and KPIs; quant-driven operations are the norm.

Sellers (generation / VPP)

Offer curves, dispatch, maintenance timing, flexibility coupling.

Wind/solarThermalHydro/pumpedCHPStorage investorsVPP aggregation
Buyers (C&I / campuses / data centres / electrolysers)

Procurement pacing, load shifting, demand-charges, hedging.

ManufacturingIndustrial parksData centresEV chargingElectrolysers/heat pumpsBuilding DR
Retail & aggregation (retailers / aggregators / quant desks)

Portfolio procurement & pricing, spot exposure hedging, algorithmic bidding.

Regions & grids (distribution / congestion)

Congestion window forecasting, local actions, non-wire alternatives.

Doing the right thing means nailing when, how much, how long

失败模式
  • Mistimed: price windows vanish quickly
  • Mis-sized: bid/offer bias strains P&L and compliance
  • Mis-windowed: action window ≠ billing/fulfilment bands
  • Mis-specified: caps/penalties/settlement not internalised
决策变量
  • When: trigger to buy/sell/charge/discharge
  • How much: power, bid volume, contract share
  • How long: hold and release duration
关键约束
  • Market: caps, deviation penalties, fulfilment bands, REC rules
  • Billing: 15/30 min windows, max demand
  • Asset: SOC/power/transformers/temperature
  • System: outages, flows, congestion, constraint limits
量化/售电共性难题
  • Forecast uncertainty not expressed in trading terms (lack of coverage and risk bands)
  • Portfolio hedging is hard (VaR/CVaR entangled with client mix and horizons)
  • Bidding/clearing/settlement disconnected (rules not embedded, bills break)

Our answer: LAPLACE Core™ + STEWARD™

Kongming™ and Lingshu™ on the intelligent hub form a predict–decide–execute–settle loop.

LAPLACE Core™ (Forecast Engine)
  • Scope: load/net load, renewable output, zonal/nodal prices, congestion/constraints.
  • Multi-horizon: seconds → minutes → hours → day-ahead/real-time; quantiles/intervals/scenarios with Conformal coverage.
  • Deliverables: point forecasts, intervals (P90/P95), scenario sets (risk bands).
STEWARD™ (Strategy Factory & Execution)
  • Buyer playbooks: procurement curves/top-ups, load shifting, hedging, billing-friendly peak shaving.
  • Seller playbooks: bid/offer guidance, dispatch trajectories, flex coordination, fulfilment bands.
  • Integration & constraints: market hub / EMS / AGC, embedded caps/deviation/billing/equipment/flows, exception rollbacks.
