Power traders

Power traders need to create a competitive edge. With KYOS advanced analytics they obtain a better understanding of power flows and price movements, which help to identify trading opportunities.

Software Models for power traders to suit your needs

• Many power deals involve optionalities. Examples include spark and dark spread options and time spread options. Accurate pricing and hedging of these products is essential to making money. KYOS offers best-in-class option valuation models for energy markets. For example we have KyOption to price a wide range of options. If you need valuations for optimal dispatch, then KyPlant is the answer.
• In addition, keeping risk under control is key for success in energy trading. For all power traders we offer a complete deal capture and portfolio management system, including a Value-at-Risk engine. If desired, you can extend this model with Cashflow-at-Risk and Earnings-at-Risk.
• Furthermore KYOS offers a fundamental market model, KyPF. Based on information of all power plants in the market, together with fuel and load forecasts, it finds the equilibrium market prices. Traders can analyze a range of assumptions and see how they work out on future power price levels. Calculations are very fast, so many scenarios can be analyzed and action readily taken.
