LDES + Solar Multi-Day Co-Optimisation
Co-optimises pumped-storage hydro with co-located solar and wind to arbitrage multi-day price spreads and monetise capacity services.

The Challenge
Long-duration pumped hydro is a rare, valuable asset, but multi-day arbitrage and capacity value are under-monetised. No in-house tool co-optimises hydro with co-located renewables in real time.
How It Works
- Ingests reservoir state, co-located generation forecasts and multi-day prices.
- Multi-day stochastic co-optimisation across energy and capacity products.
- Publishes the arbitrage and capacity schedule with a value report.
What It Removes
- Single-day-horizon storage dispatch
- Separate hydro and solar scheduling
- Unmonetised capacity value
Input Data RequirementsReservoir and plant state, co-located solar/wind forecasts, multi-day market prices, capacity-market and interconnection rules
Output FormatMulti-day arbitrage and capacity schedule, co-optimisation value report, award-submission pack
“Turns the hydro-plus-solar combination into an orchestrated, award-grade long-duration asset.”
