Trading & Scheduling
The PCI Platform fully supports all energy trading, scheduling, and settlement workflows through our widely utilized GenManager® solution that is configurable for participants in any ISO/RTO market or for bilateral trading entities. GenManager® is a fully integrated power trading software platform that automates generation scheduling and power settlement workflows that can be deployed on-premise or as a hosted service. In addition, it links to any data source or third-party system.
GenManager® builds bidding strategies in advance, applying them to automatically create a series of bids and offers for each ISO’s day-ahead (DA) and real-time (RT) processes while incorporating LMPs and deep-dive analytics. It accommodates physical, financial, and hybrid transactions by providing support for all individual deal components, including:
- Bidding of any market instruments in all North American ISOs
- Interfacing to exchanges such as ICE, CME/NYMEX, and Nodal Exchange
- Communicating with OASIS and E-Tagging
