Automated bidding with the bid manager

Manual bid submission via CSV upload, email, fax & phone is time consuming and error prone. Our Bid Manager sends your bids via the interfaces to the respective transmission system operator and you receive the return results back into the system. This will save you valuable time.

In our Bid Manager, you can validate and release your created bids on a daily basis using the 4-eyes principle. It is also possible to create individual workflows and automate the entire auction process.

ad-hoc bidding

Trigger the bid calculation in the bid generator ad-hoc, check all automatically calculated bids and trigger the transmission of the bids to the TSOs manually.

manual work-flow

Create a work-flow and have bids calculated automatically at the desired time, but check them manually (e.g. 4-eyes principle) and trigger the transmission to the TSO with a click.

automated work-flow

In this case, there is nothing more to be done manually. In the background, everything happens completely automatically. The interfaces are called (schedule, marginal price & forecast updated) and the bids are transmitted to the TSO at the desired time.

Revenue optimized bid calculationwith our Bid Generator

With the Bid Generator we provide you with a powerful tool to calculate your strategies in an optimized way. Create unique and individual strategies for your assets, or map the entire capacity in one strategy. Customized & matching bids are automatically generated for you.

Free Bids

Deposit individual free bid strategies for the energy power market. You can readjust and release these until just before the TSOs close.

Months of implementation time?Not with FlexPowerHub

Our web-based application can be integrated into your system very quickly – 3-5 person days depending on the size of the modules. No interfaces need to be “implemented” for pure bid calculation with our forecasts. We use REST API interfaces to connect to your leading management system. Our phase plan allows the connection to be carried out using technical documentation.

Data-Service

Start fully automated as a participant in the balancing energy market. With our Data-Service you have the possibility to import your own price time series, forecasts and own schedules. For the bid calculation FlexPowerHub can thereby automatically collect the volume & marginal costs. This eliminates the need for manual delivery of bids.

TSO - interface

A dedicated interface to your transmission system operators? – With FlexPowerHub you can place bids through our interface. All results of the auctions – the awarding – are reported back to your system.

FlexPowerHub as a strategic partner forfuture market design changes

With special regard to the new market design PICASSO & MARI, we map all modalities in FlexPowerHub. Future changes will be adopted by us. FlexPowerHub is constantly being further developed. Relieve internal IT and save valuable time & costs.

More about PICASSO & MARI

The European harmonization of SRL & TRL

The EU-Commission Regulation on the Electricity Balancing Guideline (EBGL) gave the go-ahead for cross-border procurement of balancing energy in 2017. The EBGL refers not only to the roles of the transmission system operators of the participating countries, but also to the implementation and development of the technical basis or the new European platforms via which the "balancing" is to take place across countries in the future.

The platforms for European (partial) harmonization are PICASSO for aFRR (secondary market), MARI for mFRR (tertiary market) and TERRE for RR (Replacement Reserve). PICASSO & MARI in particular will be of particular importance to participants in the balancing energy market, as it will fundamentally change the existing market design. Modality changes include shortening product time slices for energy auctions to 15-minute products. This means that in the future, instead of 6, there will be 96 energy tenders every day at quarter-hourly intervals. The Gate Closure Time for this purpose is 25 minutes before the start of the product.

Automation as a solution?

To operate the new market design manually requires considerable manpower. Therefore, benefit from our service and start automating your workflows. In addition, you do not incur any expenses for future market design changes, these are mapped by FlexPowerHub.
