Stakeholders Gain Competitive Advantage

  • Forecasting when trader assets are likely to be impacted by inertia management actions by grid operators has allowed Reactive’s customers to improve their performance in the balancing mechanism relative to peers.
  • High speed notification of locational grid events, such as interconnector trips, provide opportunities on intraday power markets.
  • Battery owners and optimizers utilize balancing market forecasts when tendering for ancillary services.

The Technology

Ultra-capacitor

Tradenergy® allows short-term power traders, asset owners and market analysts to benefit from the same real-time monitoring and forecasting infrastructure used by grid operators in the control room. With increasing levels of renewable generation, grid operators require more advanced tools to monitor the system in real-time.

XMU - Reactive Technologies

Reactive Technologies’ patented inertia monitoring solution utilizes a distributed network of GPS-enabled monitoring devices (XMUs), and cloud-based digital signal processing to provide unique location-based frequency and inertia monitoring.

Energy source heat map

Within the UK, Reactive receives 173 million readings every 24 hours via 40+ highly available devices. This existing infrastructure provides the backbone to the market analytics available via Tradenergy® and requires no additional hardware setup.
