Commercial
and operational optimisation
Energy
Operating assets in the GB and Irish Market is becoming increasingly complex, from optimal dispatch strategies to forward planning of maintenance activities and commercial plant upgrades.
Our EnVision modelling framework supports commercial decisions such as the optimal dispatch of assets within the wholesale market, forward planning of maintenance activities or valuation of commercial upgrades to plant. Our dispatch modelling is fully specified including both short term considerations, for example run-throughs at minimum load, and long-term considerations such as emission constraints and maintenance restrictions.
