Application

Market Simulator

The market simulator clears the same demand and supply scenarios against the transmission network model, producing nodal prices and ancillary-services outcomes under both day-ahead and real-time designs.

Market clearing

Separating Energy and Ancillary-Services Market Clearing

Energy and reserve markets are modeled explicitly rather than blended into a single price. Energy clears through SCED, with reserves co-optimized in the same dispatch, so opportunity cost moves between the two products and each is priced on its own.

Market timelines

Supporting Day-Ahead and Real-Time Market Studies

The simulator can distinguish between day-ahead and real-time market assumptions so users can compare how forecast uncertainty, supply conditions, congestion, and reserve needs appear across market stages.

Outputs

Forecasting Prices, Flows, Shortfalls, and Oversupply

The simulator produces energy LMPs, reserve prices, congestion signals, line flows, supply shortfalls, oversupply conditions, and side-by-side scenario comparisons.

Scenario sensitivity

Comparing Futures Without Changing the Rules Underneath

Users can compare market outcomes under different weather, demand growth, technology adoption, large-load, policy, outage, derate, and supply-fleet assumptions while preserving traceability.
