Energy Trading:

 

Overview
Energy Trading is a state-of-art, Enterprise web-based application built to support daily activities of energy trading & scheduling. The application  records all aspects of power transactions allowing for the entry and management of hourly, daily, weekly, monthly trades, schedules, OASIS transmission and NERC electronic Tagging.

Real-Time data and optimal Run-Time are critical factors for efficient operation of an Electric utility or a Trading firm. Energy Manager eliminates error-prone manual data entry and enhances the integrity & transparency of transactions for various types that range from energy trading to scheduling.

enables users to create / view / edit schedules, deals and Tags

rolled-up interchange values for all schedules that are sinking, sourcing or being wheeled through the control area
