EMC's Market Simulation Service uses our proprietary simulation software, which replicates the functions of the NEMS’ real-time Market Clearing Engine¹ to model a wide range of scenarios² for clients.

For example, using data³ like forecasted demand, demand response bidding, offers from generators, as well as electricity dispatch network and system constraints, the simulation software can simulate movements in prices (wholesale electricity prices, locational marginal prices and/or ancillary service prices), or the impact of different conditions on dispatch quantities and system constraints.

Uses of Market Simulation Service

The Market Simulation Service offers a wide range of uses and benefits, including:

• Trading or financial risk management

• Operational planning and risk management

• Analysis, research, or modelling

• Feasibility testing or proof of concept (POC) for new programmes or projects

¹The Market Clearing Engine takes into account a full range of inputs, formulates the security constrained dispatch model as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem, and maximizes social benefits to derive dispatch schedules and discover market prices

²Scenarios and disclosable outcomes are subject to approvals from the Energy Market Authority (EMA)

³Artifical and historical data will be used for simulation. By and large, most data inputs and scenarios can be modified and modelled (although there could be some software limitations for certain scenarios)
