X-Power.

Model power generation, fuel costs and dispatch.

X-Power is Calypso’s power-market modelling project. It focuses on how generation assets meet demand under operating and cost constraints. Discuss the assets, markets and planning decisions you need to model with our team.

01

Generation assets

Specify output limits, efficiency and operating availability.

02

Market assumptions

Define prices, demand and the planning horizon.

03

Operating constraints

Agree start-up, ramping and minimum running requirements.

04

Scenario comparison

Define the changes and results the analysis should compare.

Model scope

ASSETS, CONSTRAINTS AND SCENARIOS

Agree the generation assets, market assumptions and operating decisions that the model needs to represent.

WHAT IT DOES

What you can do with X-Power.

01

Represent generation assets

Specify the output limits and operating characteristics needed for the model.

02

Model commitment and dispatch

Describe when units can run and how much electricity they can generate.

03

Include fuel and carbon costs

Assess how these cost assumptions affect the economics of generation.

04

Compare market scenarios

Explore the effect of different demand, price and availability assumptions.

05

Define the operating constraints

Agree the ramping, reserve and other restrictions required for your use case.

HOW IT WORKS

01 · WHAT YOU PROVIDE

↓ Asset specifications

↓ demand and price assumptions

↓ fuel and carbon costs

↓ agreed operating constraints

02 · THE PROCESS

Define the generation model, required constraints and scenarios with the Calypso team.

03 · WHAT YOU RECEIVE

→ A model specification and scenario analysis scoped to the assets and decisions being assessed

DEFINE THE ASSETS

Specify the generation assets and operating decisions you want to model.

AGREE THE SCOPE

Review the required constraints, market data and scenario outputs with our team.

PLAN THE PROJECT

Agree the development work, validation and delivery timetable.

PART OF OPTIMISE

Plan cargo deliveries, fleet operations and energy supply using the relevant contracts, assets and constraints.
