Build better models with EnCompass

DON’T BE LIMITED BY INSUFFICIENT OR OUTDATED POWER PLANNING SOFTWARE

Robust planning and forecasting software is crucial as energy production shifts towards clean sources and advanced storage.

EnCompass has a higher level of resilience because it factors ancillary services in modeling and decision making. Most other software products simplify or ignore ancillary objectives.

Build better models. Make better decisions in transitioning markets.

DESIGNED FOR
THE ANALYST

Easy-to-use interface with ample modeling features

EXTENSIVE CAPABILITIES
- Market price forecasting with nodal transmission capability (security-constrained unit commitment and economic dispatch)
- Detailed chronological constraints with sub-hourly capability (down to one minute)
- Maintenance scheduling and stochastic analysis with risk reporting
- Co-optimization of energy, ancillary services, capacity, and environmental programs
- Solving for multiple expansion plans ranked by revenue requirements
- Pro-forma financial analysis including income statements, cash flow, and key metrics
INTUITIVE INTERFACE

Create multiple scenarios using shared datasets, with scenarios grouped into structured folders that make it easy for capital projects, outage dates, and initial conditions to be set based on prior simulations. Time Series are a simple way to develop a stream of data over time, including detailed daily shapes, and share those assumptions across multiple items and inputs.
EXCEL INTEGRATIONS
RESULTS AND REPORTING

Easily view and understand results through high-level summaries or detailed interval dispatch reports at the click of a link with no setup required. Tables and charts put results into context and include key metrics such as: reserve margins, availability, capacity factors, average costs, pricing, realized market prices, and profitability.

The software uses an SQL server database, allowing multiple users access to data at the same time, and all data entries clearly display who made the change and when. EnCompass scripts may be used to automate data changes, submit runs, generate reports, and call external command-line processes.

The Only Software You’ll Need For Power Planning and Forecasting

EnCompass Sets the Industry Standard

EnCompass is the software of choice for making optimal power supply decisions from short-term scheduling and trading to long-term capital investment. This is the only model needed for all facets of power planning and forecasting. It combines power plants and complex contracts’ full operational detail with the ability to simplify and relax constraints for long-term simulations.

Traditional long-term planning models are often overly simplistic and ignore ancillary services, ramp rates and startup costs. Most short-term models are data-intensive making it difficult to manage scenarios and uncertainties around prices, demand, and availability. EnCompass overcomes these drawbacks by combining an extensible Time Series data model with performance options for managing runtime and complexity, while always maintaining chronological constraints.

Deployment & Licensing

EnCompass can be deployed in two different modes. Either mode may use physical computers, virtual machines, or resources in the cloud using technologies like Amazon Workspaces or Azure Virtual Machines.
