Thermal Generation
Value, optimise and manage risk of thermal power generation assets and contracts.
Your Thermal Generation Questions
How much is my asset worth?
How exposed am I to fluctuations in fuel cost?
How do I account for the different characteristics of thermal generation assets and associated financial contracts?
How can I hedge the cashflow uncertainty of my physical asset portfolio?
Our Thermal Generation Solution
Value and optimise thermal power generation assets while analysing the risks and value of associated financial contracts. Gain a comprehensive view of your thermal power generation portfolios, assess optimal dispatch strategies and report on fair asset values, economic capital, cashflow adequacy, and budget uncertainty.
Purpose-built to cater for the complex characteristics of thermal power generation assets and associated financial contracts, the Thermal Generation module in Lacima Analytics models specific operational constraints including capacity limits, ramp rates, emission costs, and fuel switching capabilities to ensure accurate valuations and strategies tailored to your assets and market conditions.
The module supports various dispatch algorithms such as ramping, price-based, and multi-unit generation. It also incorporates a wide range of parameters in risk calculations including time-based operational constraints, maintenance schedules, and simulated outages.
The Thermal Generation module provides a wealth of outputs from financial metrics to energy production data and profit/loss distributions, giving you the insights you need to make informed management and optimisation decisions for your thermal generation assets and associated contracts.
Thermal generator inputs accommodate the complex characteristics of
thermal power generation assets and associated financial contracts.
