How the FlexibilityTrader works

Structure

Signal generator

The signal generator creates signals (e.g. predictions/forecasts) for the trading algorithms based on live market data. We collect large amounts of data for signal generation. We process this data using state-of-the-art machine learning tools and rules-based models, depending on the signal we want to generate. Signals include order book* data, price forecasts and predictions relating to renewable electricity production and temperatures. The signals are generated and used days in advance and updated whenever new information becomes available.

Intermarket optimization

The signal generator is necessary to implement the intermarket optimization module, which focuses on optimization across different markets. The FlexibilityTrader decides which market and which product is most promising in the given situation for the purpose of marketing flexibility. TSO markets, DSO markets and wholesale energy markets (day-ahead and intraday) are all included.

Time optimization

The time optimization module, which runs every few seconds, is used to find the best solution at any given time. This makes the FlexibilityTrader a real-time high-frequency trading solution. The FlexibilityTrader uses live market signals as well as live physical asset information from the FlexibilityAggregator on the available flexibility. These two worlds, market and physical, are then combined in the FlexibilityTrader’s algorithms to make data-driven decisions and create flexibility offers for the different markets.

Trading

FlexibilityTrader is directly connected to the EPEX Spot Market (energy wholesale market) and various transmission system operators (TSO) for the provision of ancillary services. It places offers in the order book* according to individual and previously defined strategies. The execution, and therefore the actual trading, happens within milliseconds and up to 5 minutes before delivery (cut-off time). This enables an immediate response to market dynamics. The final market plan is then passed to FlexibilityAggregator for disaggregation and physical fulfillment: the individual vehicles receive their charging power.

_*_{In addition to all active buy and sell orders, an order book contains all
limit orders of a trading platform, meaning orders with an upper or lower
price limit.}
