EMCAS - Monitor
Designed for use by market operators and regulators to perform market monitoring and mitigation analysis.
For example, the software was applied in a study conducted for the
Illinois Commerce Commission to evaluate whether the transmission
system in the state and surrounding region would be able to support a
competitive electricity market.

EMCAS - Simulator
Uses
an innovative agent-based approach to more accurately model the
behavior of energy consumers and suppliers. The software is used for
electricity market simulation, price forecasting, bidding strategy
evaluation, and asset optimization. EMCAS also analyzes a wide array of
smart grid planning issues, including the impact of demand response
programs, PHEVs, renewable energy, hydro power operations, and energy
storage on power plant and electric grid operations, electricity
consumption, emissions, electricity prices, and company profits. |
