In a recent conversation with Patrick Reames from ComTech Advisory, Seenu Kaliamurthy, Enuit’s Managing Director of Power Solutions, provided detailed insights into Enuit's initiatives within the North American power markets. This discussion is part of ComTech's ongoing coverage of vendor developments and market updates.
Introduction of Deka Watt: A Game-Changer for FTR/CRR Management
One of the key highlights from the discussion was the introduction of Deka Watt, Enuit's forthcoming product slated for release in the first half of 2024. Deka Watt is designed to address the complexities of managing Financial Transmission Rights (FTRs), also known as Congestion Revenue Rights (CRRs) or Transmission Congestion Contracts (TCCs), across all North American power markets. As ComTech’s blog points out, managing FTRs has been a challenging area for most ETRM systems, despite the high volume of trading by various entities, not limited to power producers alone. The demand for a robust solution in this area is evident, and Deka Watt aims to meet this need effectively.
Technological Innovations and System Integration
Deka Watt will be a fully cloud-based product, incorporating big data technologies to handle the extensive ISO/RTO data essential for calculating FTR/CRR values. ComTech’s article highlights that, interestingly, while Deka Watt will integrate seamlessly with Enuit’s flagship ETRM system, Entrade, it will also be available as a standalone product. This flexibility allows it to be integrated with other ETRM systems, broadening its applicability across the industry.
Leveraging Cloud Capabilities
The cloud-native architecture of Deka Watt is set to leverage the scalability of cloud processing. This capability will enable pre-calculation of ISO/RTO data, which significantly enhances efficiency and enables the system to handle and report on tens of thousands of awards for any customer or system, as noted in ComTech’s coverage.
Enhancements to Entrade
In addition to launching Deka Watt, Enuit is making significant advancements in its core product, Entrade. Efforts are underway to update the user interface to simplify and automate processes to improve workflow. Furthermore, Enuit is enhancing the system’s core power functionalities, including the incorporation of heat rate options and refining forward curves to an hourly granularity—a move that leverages improved processing efficiencies.
Broader Functionalities for Environmental Markets
Seenu also discussed enhancements in other areas, particularly environmental markets. Enuit has expanded its functionality to include additional coverage for biofuels and compliance and voluntary markets. ComTech’s blog conveyed his confidence, stating, "We are 100% complete in terms of functionality, and with the UI updates we’re making, we will definitely be the best-of-breed solution for those markets."
Conclusion
As detailed in ComTech Advisory’s blog, Enuit is strategically positioning itself to capture additional growth opportunities in the North American power markets with its innovative solutions.
