Velocity Suite: EV Market-Ops
Detailed Operational Data That's Easy-to-Use
Which NOx emissions strategies will be most profitable
in the summer?
How many hours in a given week was a base load unit out
of service?
What's the best strategy to buy, sell or generate power
in an LMP Market?
Do you need "model-ready" data for your market models?
EV Market-Ops digs down into the details. Its primary components are hourly data for generation, heat rates, emissions (EPA CEMS), loads and prices (FERC and ISO). We have pulled together these extremely useful and cumbersome collections of data and put them in an easy-to-use, extremely flexible application.
Unit costs are linked to generation and Locational Marginal Price data to enable EV Market-Ops users to review hourly operating revenue and profit streams for nearly 2,300 of the nation's largest generating units. EV Market-Ops also compiles and formats extensive supply and demand data for use as inputs to most market models. The data is updated daily.
EV Market-Ops differs from competing products in quality and quantity. First, all raw data are reviewed for accuracy and corrected or estimated where wrong/incomplete. Second, we add value to all raw operations data by making sure that when presented, they have an appropriate market context.
EV Market-Ops presents all the detail possible with "no holds barred." For example, LMP pricing data is available for all price nodes in North America—the majority of which are also viewable in EV Energy Map.
EV Market-Ops includes:
- Estimated fuel
- Fixed and variable costs for each unit
- Capacity blocks and associated heat rates
- NERC's Generator Availability Data Set (GADS) outage and reliability data
- Historic hourly loads
- 10 year load forecasts
- Unit ramp rates
- Emissions control technology
- O&M expenses
