Energy Market - ADICA

ADICA's Smart Market^® analytics provide knowledge for informed decision making in the evolving energy market place.

Business and government leaders are faced with the challenge to assess the impact of environmental regulation, demand-side management programs, smart grid and renewable technology, and competitive energy markets on short-term operations and long-term investment decisions. However, there is a lack of effective analytical tools for use to accurately evaluate alternative strategies in order to select the best ones to implement.

In response to the growing need for improved software tools for analyzing energy markets, ADICA provides innovative solutions by leveraging research and development activities at Argonne National Laboratory. We specialize in the application of agent-based simulation techniques to model the complex interactions of electricity system participants. Our Smart Market^® software uses an innovative agent-based approach to model the independent behavior of energy market consumers and suppliers.

ADICA’s software is used by energy market suppliers and regulators on five continents to make informed operational, investment, and policy decisions. With more accurate energy market analytics, companies are better able to reduce risk, balance supply with demand, conserve resources, reduce capital expenditures, and increase profits.
