Supply & Demand Tool And Current Market
Data For Time Sensitive Decisions
AcuPower is a dynamic supply stacking tool that provides short-term market analysts like traders—and analysts who support the trading floor—a flexible platform to conduct scenario analyses on near-real time market conditions.
AcuPower is designed with one fundamental task in mind: accurately reflect the current and short-term outlook for supply and demand at a regional level. It allows you to integrate current and forecast weather, load, generator and market data to understand where supply will intersect demand from a marginal cost perspective. In addition to graphically displaying the results, AcuPower is designed for scenario analysis with savable settings to allow the user to quickly reproduce their customized views through a convenient web interface.
