EnSuite Express is offered in two formats; 1. As a managed application, staged, hosted and maintained by EnDimensions. Get on line and operating in days, not weeks.

As a licensed application, staged and supported at customer facilities. For customers that prefer keeping the application in-house, we offer an application that minimizes maintenance and upkeep requirements, while providing the reliability and availability that our large EnSuite Settlements customers rely on. Each release has brought major revisions to the structure of CAISO energy settlements, including the fifteen-minute market charges mandated by FERC and a large group of new and modified charge codes with the inception of EIM.

In each case, EnSuite Settlements managed the change with aplomb. In most cases, updates can be installed transparently to the user, and without shutting down the system.

Leveraging its modular design, we can now also offer an EnSuite product targeted toward EIM market participants who do not require the full scope of ISO settlements. Cal ISO looks to gain a more flexible portfolio of real time energy resources to augment the increasingly diverse, and increasingly renewable, resources within the state. External entities such as inaugural EIM participant PacifiCorp hope to gain added flexibility as well, including the ability to buy and sell energy in the real time energy markets and across area boundaries in a much more dynamic manner than in the past.

The idea is that by increasing the overall fleet of available resources to ideally include much of the Western Interconnect, regional variations in load and generation will tend to cancel out across the area, keeping prices down and enhancing reliability. Many of the stakeholders will be watching this market launch very closely. At EnDimensions, we have been tracking the evolution of the market structures and tariff provisions very closely. Having met the challenges of the FERC changes with timely revisions to our EnSuite settlement and analytic products, we are now tooling up for a smooth transition to EIM!

The EIM market will bring new requirements for scheduling and settlements, including new charges and changes to existing charges that our shadow settlement and analytics modules will respond to with aplomb. In addition, new EIM participants will find that the EnSuite Settlements products, together with expertise of our market experts, will provide for a clean and easy transition for those wishing to enter the market. Fortunately, EnSuite by EnDimensions was built from the ground up with just such customers in mind.

The transition was completed without a service outage and with minimal disruption to normal business processes. Shadow calculations for the new charge codes were implemented with an updated configuration pack, which implemented shadow calculations for the new charge codes and reconfigured the settlement interval from ten to five minutes.

APIs were updated similarly, with interfaces and data templates modified without a service interruption, while preserving backward compatibility for legacy data.

By planning and building for availability, flexibility and configurability, EnDimensions has created a product suite that handles 21 st century energy markets in stride! Seems like only yesterday we were closing out the CAISO Symposium, and looking ahead to a year filled with change. We were not disappointed. The FERC Market changes are scheduled to commence market trials in February , a major change that will add a 15 minute market sandwiched between the Day Ahead and Real Time markets currently in operation.

CAISO projects a number of benefits from this change, including enhanced ability to manage imports of renewable energy and better alignment of pricing from day ahead through real time at the interties. Now in its fifth year, the Stakeholder Symposium has become the largest gathering of electric industry executives on the west coast, attracting nearly attendees from all sectors of the energy industry in The symposium will again include the popular Technology Showcase, in which exhibitors will display new and innovative technologies related to the electric industry.

The ISO will provide an agenda, logistics, exhibitor, and registration information in a future market notice. For More Information Contact.
