Hybrid consulting group has proprietary data-sets and models which solve for optimal generation configurations
among units across individual utilities, regions or sub-regions. We also have a dynamic supply
curve model which captures the complexities introduced by the twin uncertainties of fuel price changes
and unexpected outages.
The graph below depicts an average seasonal supply curve for a large
electric utility. As load levels increase, the marginal cost and hence
the market price of meeting the next megawatt of demand rises. Seasonal
variations in planned and forced outages, as well as transmission
constraints, and changes in fuel prices cause the exact relationship
between load and price to evolve as a function of the time of year.
