AMPL gives you the modeling flexibility and transparency to turn market price forecasts into recurring, defensible dispatch decisions for BESS, co-located assets, and modern grids.
Trusted by thousands of industry leading teams
Aurora is an off-the-shelf tool from Energy Exemplar for power market forecasting and fundamentals studies. Fitting it to your specific assets and bidding rules goes beyond its standard setup.
AMPL starts from a proven core model, and our energy experts tailor it to your assets, markets and data in a few calendar weeks. You get a model built around your assets and bidding rules, with transparent logic behind every number.
A long-term price view doesn't automatically become a daily charge, discharge or bidding schedule. AMPL connects valuation on price forecasts to short-term dispatch optimization in one model.
Optimizing Power Grid Management with AMPL
Hitachi Energy replaced their legacy energy planning workflow with a purpose-built AMPL model. Here’s what changed: by moving away from rigid “black-box” constraints, Hitachi integrated AMPL into their Network Control system to provide a flexible modeling environment that avoids solver lock-in, a level of adaptability that traditional platforms simply can’t match. Now a trusted industry standard used by 30+ energy companies, the system solves models with millions of variables in just ~10 minutes (even for complex MILP problems). Delivering the high-speed operational rigor and customization required for modern grid stability and asset bankability.
Forecasting the market is only half the job. Asset owners need the tools to make superior market and dispatch decisions, without depending on the capabilities of a third-party optimizer. In doing so, owners can design an operating strategy that best leverages available load and market price forecasts to fully optimize asset profitability.
AMPL helps energy leaders bridge the gap between “safe operation” and “economic optimization,” ensuring every charge and discharge decision is optimized using world-class solver logic and transparent data.
Bridge the gap between forecasts and action by automating the recurring operating decisions that drive real-world revenue. By replacing ‘black-box’ assumptions with rigorous, transparent logic, explicit operational simulation and financial optimization, you provide the predictability and comfort that lenders and investors require for project financing.
Consolidate fragmented operating stacks (OEMs, control systems, and market interfaces) and dispatch data such as loads, tariffs, and market prices into a single decision layer. AMPL maximizes profitability across all revenue streams, guiding dispatch to the most profitable markets and balancing tariff savings against market revenue.
With AMPL, you can enhance operational efficiency and decision-making on a single, flexible optimization platform. Model complex energy systems, Model complex energy systems, optimize asset profitability, economically improve grid stability and streamline operation across multiple concurrent markets, all with industry-leading speed and reliability.
