Operating states

Strategies, orders and limits each have their own states

Whether a strategy is running, how far an order has filled, and how much of a limit is used are recorded separately. A strategy over its limit does not create the next bid.

Who uses it

Each role opens a different door

The same tape: the trader reads bids, risk reads limits, the retailer reads the spread.

The question to answer

How far is the day-ahead forecast from the forward book, and did this sleeve pass the limit?

Deviation sketch

See the volume gap before the charge

Move planned energy, actual energy, the clearing price and the deviation charge. The charge is the absolute gap times the unit charge.

Deviation = actual − planned. Charge = |deviation| × unit charge. The clearing price is shown for comparison and is not added into this charge.

Actual is above plan

This calculator only sketches energy and a unit price. It does not forecast prices and it is not trading advice. Provincial rules, tolerance bands and hourly definitions follow the exchange.

Decision loop

From the tape to the ledger, in one record

The trader reads prices and the forecast, the strategy passes backtest and limits, the bid is kept, then settlement is posted.

  1. 1
    Read prices

    Clearing, load and notices.

  2. 2
    Publish a forecast

    Run a task. The result is labeled a forecast.

  3. 3
    Generate a strategy

    Take a conservative, balanced or aggressive sleeve from a template.

  4. 4
    Pass the limits

    After the backtest, check the four limits. A sleeve over the limit does not become a bid.

  5. 5
    Keep the bid

    Orders, fills and positions go on the book.

  6. 6
    Book settlement

    Energy, ancillary, green power, capacity and deviation cost enter the summary.

Boundary

Decisions and the book live here. Clearing and dispatch live next door

The trading assistant covers how prices are gathered, how strategy is kept, how limits block a bid, and how settlement is recorded. Invitations, charge and discharge, and asset registration each have a product.

Platform

Many accounts, an audit trail, and export

The trading assistant runs on MeetCarbon Cloud and shares organization and permissions with the virtual power plant and storage operations.

Many accounts

One organization can separate books by trading entity.

Six markets

Spot through retail stay on separate lines.

Audit trail

Starting a strategy, changing a limit, a bid and an export record who did it and when.

Export

Backtests, revenue and the settlement summary can be exported for reconciliation.

SaaS

Annual subscription. Published prices are on the pricing page and follow the contract.

Private deployment

Can be deployed in the customer environment. Implementation is listed separately on the pricing page.

Scenes

Who opens this desk first

Entities already in the power market, or ready to keep spot, forwards and green power on one book.

Retailers

Split wholesale contracts, spot and the retail spread, and backtest the purchase book.

See the neighboring page

Generation and renewables

Forward locks and spot deviation sit together. Output monitoring stays in solar operations.

See the neighboring page

Large offtakers

Read the monthly mix of spot and forwards. Limits block an oversized offer.

A virtual power plant in the market

The invitation sits in the virtual power plant. This entity’s bids, fills and settlement stay on the desk.

FAQ

Where bids, forecasts and settlement stop

These are the lines customers check most often.

Does an order here mean the exchange has cleared it?

Orders, fills and positions are comparison records on this book. Clearing and fill confirmation follow the power exchange. Strategy generation stays a suggestion and is not filed to the exchange automatically.

Does a price forecast guarantee revenue?

Forecast tasks, strategy suggestions, revenue simulations and the deviation sketch on this page are labeled as forecasts or illustrations. Actual settlement follows the exchange statement and the provincial rule.

How is this split from the virtual power plant?

The virtual power plant aggregates resources and handles invitations and clearing coordination. The trading assistant records this entity’s prices, bids, fills and settlement. The two can be compared. Neither replaces the other.

How is this split from storage operations?

Storage operations covers site charge and discharge, safety alarms and site revenue. The trading assistant covers market bids and the settlement book. Cabinet control is not sent from this desk.

How do green-power records split from carbon assets?

Green-power volume, premium and certificate numbers sit in the six-market book. Allowances, CCER and inclusive-carbon holdings and surrender sit in carbon asset management. A certificate that must enter the carbon ledger is registered there.
