Trading and EMS
Article 5 of 10 · SMEs, dashboards and controlWhich software combines EMS with energy trading?
Direct answer
Software that combines EMS with energy trading links consumption profiles, flexibility, assets, market data and contract positions. This is especially relevant for energy-intensive companies with controllable assets, CHP, storage, charging infrastructure or portfolio responsibility.
- Link between profile and market
- Relevant with flexibility
- Strong for energy-intensive companies
- Insight first, then trading
EMS monitoring versus EMS with trading context
Energy trading and EMS meet when consumption or production is flexible. Without good insight into profiles and constraints, it is difficult to use market value responsibly.
- An EMS shows profiles and flexibility; trading software links this to market positions.
- The combination is especially relevant with controllable assets and larger energy volumes.
- For most companies, insight into profiles is the first step.
