Our Models


An Overview Of cQuant.io Models

cQuant’s industry-leading models can be used individually or combined in Analytic Chains to create multi-faceted analytical workflows. For example, generate a standalone set of stochastic price simulations for use in downstream business processes. Or feed these simulations into cQuant’s Plant Dispatch Optimization and Cash Flow at Risk models for a complete portfolio-wide cash flow analysis. With new models added every 90 days, the possibilities for new Analytic Chains are growing rapidly, so check back often for new and updated models.

Basis Simulation

Simulate hourly or daily basis spreads relative to a reference price, capturing important distributional and time series dynamics.

Image

Battery Storage Optimization

Optimize stand-alone and renewable + storage assets relative to energy and ancillary services prices.

Image

Cash-Flow-at-Risk (CFaR)/Gross-Margin-at-Risk (GMaR)

Report cash flow, generation, and fuel burn uncertainty for hybrid physical/financial energy portfolios.

Image

Contract Valuation

Value contracts ranging from vanilla swaps and options to bespoke HRCOs, RPOs, VFAs, and other structured transactions.

Image

Counterparty Credit Exposure

Manage and report counterparty credit risk exposure and potential future exposure.

Image

Demand Response

Optimize demand response program calls and report program value and risk.

Image

Forward Price Simulation

Simulate forward contract prices through expiration for multiple delivery periods and price locations.

Image

Gas Procurement Optimization

Optimize natural gas procurement to satisfy demand while minimizing weighted average cost of gas.
