In collaboration with PowerBot, KYOS provides a best-in-class battery energy optimizer. You can define a range of parameters to adjust the optimizer to your asset characteristics and your trading preferences. The trading algorithm quickly exploits price differences in the intra-day markets. At the same time, it incorporates information from day-ahead positions, and dynamically adjusts to energy flows from ancillary service markets (FCR, aFRR). Our clients use it for benchmarking historical performance, for assessing future revenue streams and for live trading.
The battery energy optimizer is a result of the unique expertise and experience of the KYOS team in energy market analytics. Our flagship product is the KYOS Analytical Platform, aSaaS-based solution for optimal decision-making in energy markets. It provides a unique combination of ETRM functions and advanced analytics for valuation, optimization and risk management. The KYOS system is trusted and used daily by well over 100 corporate clients.
The KYOS Analytical Platform is flexible and modular. There are four main areas of application:
- The ETRM suite allows you to manage a complete portfolio of contracts and assets, across a large number of commodities, products, legal entities, counterparties, business units, countries and sites, whether you are a consumer, producer or prosumer. The software provides unique insights for managing positions and quantifying market and credit risks. Reports and analytics range from detailed breakdowns of positions, P&L and MtM, to Value-at-Risk, Cashflow-at-Risk, stress testing or benchmark hedge performance.
- The flexibility valuation suite allows you to assess the flexibility value and market exposures of any energy asset and contract with flexibility. Based on an advanced Monte Carlo simulation engine, the system values battery energy storage and pumped hydro (KyBattery), gas storage (KyStore), fuel-fired power stations (KyPlant), gass wing contracts (KySwing) and a wide range of option structures (KyOption). The KyBattery module, for example, simulates the value of battery energy assets in day-ahead, intra-day and ancillary services markets. The underlying methodology combines realistic price simulations with optimal trading strategies, taking into account cycle constraints, efficiency losses and co-located renewable assets.
- The renewable energy management suite (KyPPA) provides unique insights into your renewable energy generation and contract portfolio. It provides accurate forecasts of capture rates and simulates future cash-flows of PPAs and renewable assets. It allows you to assess all sorts of PPA structures and hedging strategies. With KyPPA you will enter into better deals and be able to manage exposures more successfully.
- All analytics are supported by a market data analytics engine. It allows you to master all market price data, generate forward curves and jointly simulate market prices, (renewable) energy generation and other energy time-series. The forward curves are either derived from market prices or based on market fundamentals, or a mix. The forward curves can cover up to 40 years horizon, based on a dataset and research team covering all European markets.
