Integ Enterprise Consulting releases a Real-Time and Continuously Updated Profit and Loss (P&L) application.

As deregulation continues to spread throughout the nation, the utility industry in the United States is becoming more competitive. The changing business environment demands higher operational efficiency that requires effective and strategic decision making. Very often the right course of action taken by management depends largely on having access to precise and up-to-date information. It is for this reason that the need for a Real-Time and Continuously Updated Profit and Loss (P&L) system has become critical.

The key to producing timely and accurate Profit and Loss information is dependent on the system’s ability to gather:

• Operating characteristics and cost components for each generating units
• Day-Ahead and/or Real-Time bids sent to the market
• LMP, clearing prices and market result from the ISO
• Real-Time operating data from the Pi Historian system
• Day-After meter readings
• Settlement Reports from the ISO or settlement data from third-party systems

Integ’s PowerP&L is designed to deliver vital operational and financial information continuously from the day-ahead perspective to the final ISO-settlement perspective; therefore the interface data are collected as soon as they become available and are update continuously as the data quality improves.

PowerP&L provides the user a 5 minute and Hourly Graphical Dispatch View, Hourly Performance View, and Daily/MTD/YTD P&L View. Additionally a Metric Dashboard allows users to perform Ad-Hoc Reporting for any data item collected. A series of screen captions are displayed in subsequent sections to provide a sense of what the system can provid
