Visual Analytics
Visual Analytics (VA) is a single “point of truth” that generators, load-serving entities (LSEs), and balancing authorities (BAs) use to compute real-time profit and loss based on ISO/RTO and internal data. It helps identify hidden opportunities and create additional, impactful transactions while generating insightful reporting across an enterprise.
Core Capabilities
Empower Your Team with Visual Reporting
- View dispatch schedules, ancillary services, LMPs, meter data, and deviations (with updates) to a five-minute level of detail.
- Visualize enterprise operations by joining ISO data with internal data and metrics from a variety of sources (e.g., Areva PI, SCADA, etc.).
Better Manage Granular Data Volumes
- Integrate data on scheduling entities, resources, and scheduling coordinators for a complete dataset.
- Pull and assess data at multiple levels (daily, hourly, and sub-hourly) with easy drill-down capability.
- Use robust connectors to import generator-specific ISO and internal data (PI, SCADA meter reads, etc.).
Elevate Confidence & Operational Awareness
Automate validations of resource-level data to see meter deviations and ramp rate inconsistencies. Improve awareness with detailed notes linked to resource-level visualizations (charts, graphs, etc.).
Speed Decisions with Tailored Analytics
- VA’s functionality speeds the manipulation, viewing, and interpretation of critical historical and real-time data actions giving you a reliable “GPS” to make optimal market participation decisions.
- Analyze daily performance alongside multiple enterprise benchmarks with customizable dashboards to optimize dispatch and scheduling.
Receive Near-Real-Time Updates
Get notified when energy flows to maintain an up-to-date operational perspective.
Quickly Calculate Profit & Loss
VA’s advanced calculation engine updates resource and portfolio estimates of P&L every 5-minutes.
Analyze Energy Imbalance Markets
Examine trade dates with versioning aligned with settlement cycles, and shadow counterfactual calculations to estimate and validate EIM benefit data provided by the ISO.
“The Visual Analytics module allows us to see nodal-based P&L calculations that provide clear price signals associated with changes in the market in our balancing area […]. This type of information has allowed PacifiCorp to more easily understand and quantify the benefits associated with enhanced flexibility at its plants and assess any capital improvements that may allow increased flexibility to react to changes in the market.”
