PERFORMANCE DELIVERED

Energy trading and risk management software

Delivering the step-change ETRM solution.

Orchestrade’s system has been designed and built for today’s energy and commodity markets. It delivers integrated energy, environmental, and financial market product coverage.

We offer comprehensive front, middle and back-office functionality across wholesale energy trading, renewable assets, transport capacities and environmental trading in a single open and highly performant platform, leveraging an event-driven architecture. Our modern, multi-threaded and scalable architecture is designed to meet the increasing need to support high volume, short-term and intraday trading, large data volumes and complex gas and power structured contracts.

The platform is designed to deliver real-time position and market data, valuation, market risk and stress-testing calculation of large complex energy portfolios. We support a broad spectrum of physical and financial instruments across power, gas, emissions and environmental products, crude and refined products, weather and freight – from standard derivatives to the highly structured transactions like gas storage, PPAs or BESS contracts.

With full STP market connectivity to all major exchanges, open API’s and event-driven automation, Orchestrade delivers both superior flexibility and lower operational overhead.

We offer a range of deployment options from on-premises to public/private cloud hosted to support client needs.

Orchestrade’s design supports innovation and allows businesses to scale and evolve quickly in the ever-changing energy landscape, whilst also delivering a significantly lower cost of implementation, upgrades and ongoing operations.

We can deliver our platform to manage your entire front-to-back operations or select specific components to fill gaps or enhance your existing capabilities. Our component-based approach provides interoperability, easy integration and the API framework means you can take as much or as little as you need.

Our ETRM platform delivers a powerful suite of tools for the valuation and end-to-end management of physical and virtual Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). Our clients have complete flexibility to:

  • Define complex PPA terms from any renewable source
  • Define and manage “clickability” including rights, min/max, number of clicks/declicks, spreads, calendar lags, formula switching
  • Report exposure and risk
  • Differentiate between monthly and final settlement with support for caps, floors and negative prices
  • Link and manage GoO certification inventory and PPA lifecycle events
  • Manage event based settlement adjustments on variable volume and volume indexed transactions

We also support Virtual Power Plants, and complex formula/basket deals across renewable energy and finance products.

Our ETRM platform allows clients to manage B2B & B2C Gas and Power Supply positions (including White Certificates and Guarantees of Origins), as well as renewables power assets (including PPAs) in one single application in real time, with daily loading of consumption and production forecasts, and risk monitoring.

Our architecture provides users with powerful trade data analysis tools including:

  • Trade data attributes such as P&L, risk and stress test results are all accessible
  • Pivot grid flexibility allowing data to be interrogated and custom reports to be built instantaneously
  • Full Excel integration

Our pricing and valuation framework allows complex physical and financial energy products and exotic options to be modelled, captured and valued easily.We provide full support for:

  • Gas swing
  • VPPs
  • PPAs and more

Users can define their own formula-based deals, utilize either Orchestrade’s valuation models or integrate their own.

Our platform fully supports trading, valuation, and management of a wide range of carbon, energy-saving and renewable products including:

  • Certificates (GoO, CER, VER, REGO, REC, GDRF etc) across power, gas, emissions and biomethane
  • Certificate & inventory management that can be linked to assets, PPAs or trading strategies

Our innovative solution architecture (OrchServer, OTDB & MongoDB) and grid processing is designed to support valuation and analysis (e.g. P&L explained) on very large datasets. Our systems are production tested for over 30,000 delivery forecasts, over a 2.5 year term with hourly granularity and more than 700m price/volume points.

Orchestrade ETRM is designed to meet the increasing need to support high volume, short-term and intraday trading with traditional complex energy product risk management. The platform is designed for real-time valuation of large complex energy portfolios and is proven to support power and gas trading volumes of up to 100,000 trades per day.

The speed, complexity and volatility of today’s energy markets require traders and risk managers to understand exposure as it happens across the entire portfolio. Our real-time capabilities and data analysis provide complete visibility to react to markets and make trading decisions.

We provide an industrial-strength lifecycle management solution with “smart business events”. We can capture lifecycle events, decoupled from products
and positions, and share across energy markets for consistency and control of operational risk.

In base metals we support LME Futures, warrant booking, lifecycle & position management, with an LMESword interface.
