EnCompass Software is the only power system model needed for making optimal decisions for short-term scheduling, medium-term budgeting, or long-term resource planning. Anchor Power Solutions provides market databases for forecasting energy, congestion, ancillary, capacity, and environmental program prices. Individual utilities or portfolios of assets are optimized using detailed corporate data along with those forecasted power prices.

Traditional long-term planning models are often overly simplistic and ignore ancillary services, ramp rates, and startup costs. And most short-term models are data-intensive, making it di�cult to manage scenarios and uncertainties around prices, demand, and availability. EnCompass overcomes these drawbacks by combining an extensible Time Series data model with performance options for managing runtime and complexity, while always maintaining chronological constraints.

Instant Insight & AnalysisAll major aspects of power system analysis are built right into EnCompass. Tables and charts show executive-level results with the ability to drill down and analyze operations at any interval of the simulation. EnCompass integrates input and output data with Excel spreadsheets. There’s no limit to the analytical capabilities!

Scenarios & Risk AnalysisEnCompass provides a simple framework for building multiple scenarios with different input assumptions. The powerful Monte Carlo logic built into EnCompass completely accounts for risks and features multiple short & long term distributions with mean reversion and correlation.

Company ReportsEach company’s position and risk profile reflects both the value of physical assets and financial contracts, such as fuel and power hedges. EnCompass includes utility accounting logic to determine AFUDC, return on rate base (including CWIP), and overall revenue requirements. Financial reports with capital balances, free cash flows, and key metrics.

Flexible DeploymentDo you need a model that one or more analysts can start using now? EnCompass Desktop requires no database configuration and can be installed & running within minutes. Do you need an enterprise solutions? EnCompass Client/ Server comes with group-level security, data audit trails, and grid computing for maximum productivity.
