Simulations
Calculate portfolio risks, optimise asset production and create hedges with simulations made for a range of energy commodities.
Overview
Based on a sound mathematical framework, our Monte Carlo simulations run multiple scenarios to help you find the price of energy commodities at defined points along a time curve. Customisation options:
from 1000-20000 paths (5000 as standard)
depending on the project - any time horizon in the future is possible
spot and/or future market
daily, weekly, monthly
power, gas, CO2 & coal, oil for many European markets
Enhancing decision-making with advanced simulations
Monte Carlo simulation methods
Monte Carlo simulations enable precise valuation and optimisation of power plants, support decision-making processes through the calculation of Value at Risk (VaR) and Profit at Risk (PaR), and facilitate budgeting through detailed scenario analyses.
By modeling a wide range of possible outcomes, these simulations provide a robust framework for managing uncertainties in the energy market. Our techniques allow us to model adequate correlations, co-integrations, and volatilities of different markets and underlying assets. This ensures that our simulations reflect realistic market behaviors and dependencies.
Multifactor Models: Capture various factors influencing market dynamics.
Kalman Filtering: Enhance the accuracy of model predictions.
Local Regression: Adapt to local data trends for more precise outcomes.
Multi-market simulations
Integrated market analysis
Simultaneously considering multiple markets helps capture dependencies arising from cross-border interactions. Integrated commodity simulations ensure stable calculations of the Dark Spread and the Spark Spread, which are crucial for analysing and optimising assets in energy markets. This comprehensive approach highlights the overall effect of your risk portfolio, ensuring that relationships and impacts are clearly understood.
Cross-Border Dependencies: Understand market interdependencies.
Dark and Spark Spread Calculations: Optimize asset performance.
Stable Simulations: Ensure reliable market analysis.
Calibration services
Ensuring accuracy and reliability
Calibration services are a crucial aspect of energy simulations. Our monthly calibration service, meticulously reviewed by analysts, ensures that simulation models accurately represent real-world energy systems.
This process accounts for changes in the system or environment, maintaining the integrity and accuracy of the simulations. By investigating worst-case scenarios and maintaining a list of significant risks, this service supports comprehensive risk management and strategic planning.
Monthly Calibration: Regular updates to reflect real-world conditions.
Quality Assurance: Rigorous checks to ensure data integrity.
Reliable Simulations: Enhance the validity of your energy market forecasts.
