Trade Optimization
Dexter offers market-leading bidding strategies to renewable energy traders, turning price risk into financial opportunities.
The automated bidding strategies are based on price forecasts - trading strategic energy amounts on a day-ahead or intraday basis - thereby maximizing short-term trade profits.
Our approach is data-driven & AI-based. The underlying price forecasting models are based on a dozen external data sources such as weather models & fundamental market data providers. These external data points are offset against internal models based on more than a hundred internally developed features.
The product is easy to onboard thanks to a modern RESTful API approach. This API supports dynamic trade corridors.
Using smart bidding strategies to maximize profits
The transition to renewable energy sources means that short-term energy prices are increasingly volatile due to the intermittency of renewable power.
Dexter Energy has developed probabilistic price forecasts that are able to capture the impact of these effects. Our clients tell us they appreciate the financial performance (in €/MWh traded). They also value the unique & different shape of the signal which gives them comfort in terms of risk management.
One example of customers that use our day-ahead-to-imbalance strategy are renewable portfolio owners who market the produced energy themselves.
Such clients don’t have large trading departments with market views but still would like to incorporate asymmetrical price spreads in their bidding strategy.
By providing automated bidding strategies - in combination with a generation forecast or stand-alone, Dexter helps these clients to get a grip on imbalance costs whilst managing the volumetric risk at the same time.
Flex Optimization
Dexter Energy offers advanced flex optimization strategies to trade asset flexibility on the balancing market.
There are two use cases for the product: Customers can curtail wind & solar assets or trade battery energy storage systems on the balancing market.
For renewables, the product unlocks revenues that reduce balancing costs up to €3/MWh produced.
For battery energy storage systems, the product generates >€100.000/MW installed/ year.
How we help Scholt Energy Services maximize their revenues
Scholt Energy provides energy & flexibility services to the B2B market. They optimize and market battery energy storage systems on behalf of their customers.
Over the years, large B2B power consumers have invested in flexibilizing & decarbonizing the way power is being used. Scholt Energy helps these clients by offering an energy solution that integrates energy supply with added flexibility & optimized returns.
One use case is the optimization of battery energy storage systems. Scholt Energy trades such systems on different markets, including the balancing market.
A second use case is the curtailment of solar & wind assets in moments of highly negative balancing prices.
Dexter delivers bespoke imbalance price forecasts & asset steering strategies to Scholt Energy in order to maximize profits for the end customer.
“With Dexter we have been able to increase trade profits for our customers, thereby accelerating the decarbonization & flexibilization of the energy system.” Walter van Alst, Operations Manager ETS
