Pharos Enterprise Intelligence

We plot the day-ahead and real-time price of every generator in a zone. This is a powerful tool in finding out what may be setting the price and understanding where the congestion may be. With knowledge of transmission outages this screen can help you develop INCing and DECing strategies.

In the above example it is easy to see prices separating in the SEMA Zone in ISO-NE. Quick inspection of which nodes are at what price easily identifies the congestion is between the Cape and the rest of Massachusetts. Align that information with the transmission outages and you can see which transmission line caused the congestion. Armed with that knowledge, you may be able to predict price behavior when outages are first announced.
