NEOmobile

ANALYSIS

NEOmobile has 800+ reports. NEOmobile handles the unique processing requirements of Australian NEM data like bids and constraints to extract the most information and present it in an informative way. Reports are grouped and linked to make it easier to access related data.

Here are just some of the analysis features built in to NEOmobile.

• Ability to handle data of different periodicity and detect missing data
• Ability to combine many different chart styles in a single chart
• Ability to chart data at different times on the same time axis
• Lines can be plotted with shading representing other data elements. This is utilised in showing interconnector limits binding constraints.
• Handles bid and rebids for electricity and gas
• Advanced time classification that understands that public holidays differ by region
• Advanced chart and table styling that uses dynamic meta-data. A simple example is changing the colour, line styles, thickness etc of chart lines based on data.
• Specific chart styles that don't even exist in any other charting package, e.g. Merit Order Bidstack.

DETAILS

NEOmobile provides in-depth analysis of data. Tabs on the Overview page include NOS outages and Binding constraints. These have links to the constraints search page so that a given constraint or constraint set can be investigated further.

The constraints search page has the following features.

• Search by constraint set or constraint
• Click on a constraint set to see all the constraints in that set for a given date/version
• Click on a constraint to see the constraint formulation for a given date/version
• The plain language constraint formulation has syntax colouring and is formatted to make it easy to read.

DRILL DOWN + HISTORY

The "All Reports" tab in NEOmobile has 800+ reports organised in hierarchical fashion from region, portfolio in region, stations and down to plants so its easy to drill down to get the full picture. NEOmobile has always been about showing the current state of the market but "All reports" now allows the user to set a start date and period for any of the reports.

Here are just some of the analysis features built in to NEOmobile.

• Reports are organised into 17+ categories like Price, Demand, Generation, Bids etc.
• Some categories like Generation and Bids are hierarchically organised for drill down.
• Data can be viewed as chart or table and downloaded as CSV.
• Left and right buttons on the chart allow quickly switching to sibling reports.

REBID ANALYSER

NEOmobile has a powerful feature we call Replay. Replay is a view for looking at a single trading day and replaying how the market changes at each 5min dispatch interval including RRP, generation , bidstack and rebidding with reasons.

View any single trading day since 1 April 2021. Animate or single step forward or backward through the day. Very fast because all prices, predispatch, and rebids are loaded for all scheduled generators for a single trading day so there is no round tripping to the server to select instances, animate or step. For more information see here.

LIVE GENERATION

The Live Generation page shows the live generation for all the generators in the NEM. Where hydro generators are paired with a corresponding pump or load the load is also shown. Batteries also show both generation and load.

If actual 5min generation changes by more than 10% its shown as red if going down or green if up. Clicking on a station shows a popup chart of the generation for the day. If the station is currently constrained there is a link to the Constraint view so the user can view the plain language formulation of the constraint.

Generators are grouped by fuel type but can be optionally grouped by portfolio. Each group can be folded or unfolded.

NETWORK VIEW

Network View is a powerful tool allowing you to visualise the status of the NEM in real time. Network view shows a comprehensive view of the high voltage distribution network, allowing you to pan, zoom, and query each element.

Scheduled outages, as well as generators and interconnectors bound by one or more constraints, are both listed and highlighted on the map. You can watch elements such as stations, links, buses, and interconnectors, and receive on-screen notifications in real time as their statuses change. For more information see here.
