- Energy form → system → market: physics reshapes operations and market design
- Volatility as default: net-load troughs and peaks intensify
- Price tells the truth: signals guide actions and settlement
Decision-Native Energy Platform
Forecast, act, and reconcile for storage, VPP, and large-load portfolios.
From time-of-use to spot: a twin overhaul of system and markets
Variable renewables steepen and destabilise net load; operations shift from “generation follows load” to “co-optimised generation, grid, load and storage”. Pricing moves from administration to time-of-use plus spot clearing, making price the primary allocation language.
- Legacy: generation follows load (dispatchable thermal backstop)
- Now: coordinated generation-grid-load-storage (flex thermal / pumped hydro / interties / DR / storage)
- Past: planned / catalogue tariffs
- Transition: time-of-use pricing
- Present: spot market (day-ahead / intraday / real-time clearing → settlement)

If you trade spot, you need foresight
Same signals, different actions and KPIs; quant-driven operations are the norm.
Offer curves, dispatch, maintenance timing, flexibility coupling.
Procurement pacing, load shifting, demand-charges, hedging.
Portfolio procurement & pricing, spot exposure hedging, algorithmic bidding.
Congestion window forecasting, local actions, non-wire alternatives.
Doing the right thing means nailing when, how much, how long
- Mistimed: price windows vanish quickly
- Mis-sized: bid/offer bias strains P&L and compliance
- Mis-windowed: action window ≠ billing/fulfilment bands
- Mis-specified: caps/penalties/settlement not internalised
- When: trigger to buy/sell/charge/discharge
- How much: power, bid volume, contract share
- How long: hold and release duration
- Market: caps, deviation penalties, fulfilment bands, REC rules
- Billing: 15/30 min windows, max demand
- Asset: SOC/power/transformers/temperature
- System: outages, flows, congestion, constraint limits
- Forecast uncertainty not expressed in trading terms (lack of coverage and risk bands)
- Portfolio hedging is hard (VaR/CVaR entangled with client mix and horizons)
- Bidding/clearing/settlement disconnected (rules not embedded, bills break)
Our answer: LAPLACE Core™ + STEWARD™
Kongming™ and Lingshu™ on the intelligent hub form a predict–decide–execute–settle loop.
- Scope: load/net load, renewable output, zonal/nodal prices, congestion/constraints.
- Multi-horizon: seconds → minutes → hours → day-ahead/real-time; quantiles/intervals/scenarios with Conformal coverage.
- Deliverables: point forecasts, intervals (P90/P95), scenario sets (risk bands).
- Buyer playbooks: procurement curves/top-ups, load shifting, hedging, billing-friendly peak shaving.
- Seller playbooks: bid/offer guidance, dispatch trajectories, flex coordination, fulfilment bands.
- Integration & constraints: market hub / EMS / AGC, embedded caps/deviation/billing/equipment/flows, exception rollbacks.
