User interface and modulesPowel Intraday Trading is a module based solution. This means, that the solution can be adapted to specific needs by picking the right set of modules. In the following 5 modules are shortly explained and their user interface shown. The first module is the Main Module where bids can be placed and open positions are highlighted. The next module focuses on marked bids, followed by a module for imbalance support und one for available capacity overviews. Algorithmic trading by Powel is shown as a last module.

The Main Module and Portfolio overview In all our solutions we use the design thinking approach when sketching and prototyping them. Accordingly, is this tool made simple and easy to use for all of you who are using it on a daily basis. Your experience is key for us. As such, using the main module should be pleasant. It serves as the main overview of all functionality and guides the user along the way.

Functionality wise you can place bids and monitor open positions. The focus is on linking the open positions and available capacity with the market. Showing maximum and minimum capacities is a matter of checking the right checkbox. Also, the focus can be laid on single units or the whole portfolio. In order to keep an overview, we designed a labelling functionality, which makes it easy to keep in control of obligations and capacity for units. There is also a way to simply switch in between markets, if necessary. Decision support is a valuable part of the solution, in this part for example when placing bids.

Select the hour(s) in which you want to add one or several bids. Choose if you want to sell or buy, which Bid type you want to create, and enter Volume and Price. If you have chosen a specific plant or generator, the bid connects to this specific production unit.

Market bids module

This module can be reached from the main module by clicking on the tab "market" as marked in the illustration below. The module displays the order depth in the market and available bids.

Price categories are highlighted in increasing intensity of color to ease their visual identification. There is the possibility to display a range of useful information close to the bulk diagram visualizing the market. Here, we exemplified adding average marginal cost for all production units in grey over each bulk in our illustration. If a single production unit were to be chosen, the marginal costs would be updated according to the specific chosen unit's marginal costs. Also, the spot prices are written close to the bulks.

The resolution for the market tab can be switched in between quarterly and hourly by clicking on the respective checkbox on the upper right hand side in our illustration.

When picking volumes from the market the bid volume is displayed in the bottom panel. This is exemplified with product "13-Mon" in our following illustration. In order to support your decision process best priced bids are automatically selected first. You can manually edit the order volumes, which will also cause the average price displayed to be automatically altered according to the changes. This way all the relevant information is shown in one place, here the lower panel. See the following illustration.

Imbalance or Open Position Support Module

Powel Intraday Trade supports the fast removal of imbalances through decision support and an easy to understand overview.

The decision support tool for imbalances visualizes imbalance calculations for each product to come. Sorted from closest to farthest. By choosing a specific product, let’s say “13-Mon” as in our previous example, you will receive automatically generated recommendations on how to avoid the imbalance. If you agree on the proposed action it is than actionable straight away. Imbalance successfully avoided.

For an illustration of the imbalance support an exemplified version is given following hereon.

Capacity Module

Here total available capacity and marginal costs are displayed in merit order. Read the total available capacity into the module, edit price and/or volume if necessary and place all bids on the Intraday market.

In the illustration below the lowest panel shows the possibility to either choose Monday or Tuesday. Monday being the given day for the example. Having chosen one of these days, available capacity can be read in and used for placing bids on the Intraday Market in an informed manner. The yellow lines on top and on the bottom of the graph display minimum and maximum production for the chosen unit or portfolio. This can be adjusted for specific needs, for example switching “min production” to “min consumption” respectively. The purple line displays the production plan, similar to as in the portfolio tab.

This tab is great for keeping the overview and planning ahead. All these bids will automatically be labelled against the specific assets behind, allowing automated updates of specific trade time series and production/consumption plans. The labelling makes it therefore simple to keep track of unit based capacity, but also to have the accurate total capacity overview. The illustration below to get a quick glance on how this is displayed in the Powel Intraday Trading Solution.

Automated Trading Module optional moduleThe automated trading module is a flexible solution that provides drag and drop coding blocks to build own strategies. Its functionality is based on an if-while-then structure that grants the trader possibilities to set up automated trading algorithms. The automated trading function is not a black box, it is on the contrary very much transparent. The user is in control of the algorithms and can therefore adapt them, when deemed necessary. For an illustration view the picture below. When the own algorithms are built, your production plans can automatically be updated.

There are two types of users: “Operational User” and “Super User”. Their credentials allow limiting the editing ability of users. The functionality for reading scripts with algorithms is also supported.

Drag and drop your strategies by use of the colorful parts you can find in the middle panel.
