EPSI:MODEL ‒ Online power market simulation

EPSI:MODEL is a scenario simulation module for power market analysis of 1 to 30 plus years. The product has been designed to be easy to use allowing users to assemble scenarios immediately, determine dispatch and pricing using the ELAN model and rapidly visualise and export the results. Seamlessly integrated with EPSI:DATA, users do not have to source, collect and process their own data. That’s all done for them. And their data is stored on Energy Fundamentals’ own highly secure, Swiss-based servers.

Accessible, easy and fast

  • Set up future market development scenarios quickly and easily
  • Model runs and data stored on Energy Fundamentals’ secure server
  • Highly optimised execution time for the ELAN model enabling rapid development of shared insight
  • Explore impact of assumption changes and quickly compare multiple scenarios

Full integration with data module

  • EPSI:MODEL is fully integrated with EPSI:DATA
  • Comprehensive power plant data plus hourly demand and interconnection limits are automatically applied as starting points for scenario analysis
  • No additional data needed

Key scenario assumptions

Focus on key drivers such as:
  • Demand growth
  • Dollar/Euro
  • CO2 and fuel prices
  • Plant lifetimes
  • New entry options
All of these can be viewed on a by-scenario or by-assumption basis, ensuring consistency.

Simulation using mathematical programming

  • ELAN power market model for dispatch and pricing
  • Linear programming-based dispatch optimisation of the hourly market stack across an interconnected grid, overlaid with new build and retirement decisions
  • Remote execution on Energy Fundamentals’ servers, allowing users to continue working on scenarios or analysing results
