managing generation portfolios has outgrown the tools built to run them
As wind, solar and battery portfolios expand across multiple markets, operators need a connected, real-time view of their assets and market positions to coordinate decisions
-
more markets. more decisions
The same MW can serve day-ahead, intraday, ancillary services or imbalance markets - and the best option changes as conditions change.
-
less time to act
Forecasting, trading and dispatch need to stay aligned as market conditions shift.
-
every leak matters
When margins tighten, outdated forecasts, delayed trades and avoidable imbalance all erode portfolio value.
ETOS connects live
asset data, forecasting, optimisation, trading, nomination,
settlement and dispatch in one continuous loop.
the value leaks in the hand-offs between your systems
Each tool can work as intended on its own. The problem is what happens between them.
-
forecasting
The forecast ignores the battery’s live state of charge, so it recommends trades the asset cannot deliver.
-
trading
An outdated forecast leaves the portfolio exposed to avoidable imbalance.
-
dispatch
The trade reaches operations too late to schedule delivery across the available units.
-
settlement
By the time imbalance appears in settlement, the opportunity to manage it has passed.
ETOS connects the chain
The same live view of your assets informs optimisation and the dispatch that delivers the traded position.
every market decision affects the wider portfolio
Wind, solar and battery assets compete for capacity across multiple markets, each with different opportunities and constraints. ETOS evaluates these together to optimise portfolio revenues.
Live asset conditions, market signals and portfolio constraints feed into the next optimisation cycle.

ETOS in action
The wind drops. ETOS closes the gap before settlement does.
A
realistic afternoon for a wind and battery portfolio.
Illustrative example.
-
day ahead: sold ahead
Wind output is sold on the market based on the forecast.
-
earlier: charged at a low price
The battery is charged in a low-price period, planned for an evening sale.
-
15:00: a forecast miss
Wind output falls below the volume sold. The portfolio is short and exposed to imbalance prices.
ETOS weighs the options in real time. It evaluates the live asset state, updated forecasts, imbalance price outlook and risk limits.
decision
Two ways to close the gap
ETOS evaluates both options
In this scenario, buying back the shortfall preserves the battery for its planned evening sale.
optimising across assets and markets
A trade that looks attractive on its own may not be the best
option for the portfolio.
The decision depends on the
current state of the assets, the market opportunities available
and the constraints that apply.
- Live battery state of charge and cycle cost
- Wind, solar and price forecast updates
- The imbalance price outlook
- Intraday liquidity and gate closures
- Risk limits and position caps
