Deregulation of the electricity market changes the information flow and business rules for trading, scheduling, metering and settlement. New market roles are defined and the participants are forced to separate each role in the company. The structure of ownership and the business rules in each market are changing year by year. The information flow is increasing and the number of participants each company has to exchange information with is also increasing.

All these changes increase the complexity for each participant. That is why Powel has developed a suite of integrated software applications designed in a modular format to support enhanced energy trading activities. Core to the solution is Powel’s Time Series Manager (TSM) which manages the interval data of electricity, gas, and environmental instruments and is the core system for a number of Powel applications.
