Alberta Power Connector
AESO Market Intelligence
Hourly AESO pool price integration with Alberta's deregulated electricity market. Automated load management, generator dispatch, and power scheduling driven by live AESO data.
Integrated with AESO Market
The AESO Market Challenge
Alberta operates a deregulated electricity market where pool prices update every hour. Operators who react slowly to hourly price signals leave money on the table — or worse, face punitive costs during price spikes. Manual monitoring and delayed response times create significant financial exposure.
The Solution
The Alberta Power Connector integrates directly with AESO APIs and your existing SCADA/control systems to automate hourly power market response. Set your price thresholds, define your dispatch strategies, and let the system execute on each hourly pool price update — with full audit trails and human override capability.
From hourly pool price monitoring to automated offer submission, every action is logged, auditable, and reversible. Your operators stay in control while the system handles the speed.
How It Works
Core Capabilities
AESO API Integration
Hourly connection to Alberta Electric System Operator market data including pool prices, demand forecasts, and system marginal pricing.
Automated Load Shedding
Intelligent load curtailment triggered by price thresholds, demand response events, or grid reliability signals.
Generator Control
Automated generator dispatch and curtailment based on pool price, fuel cost, and maintenance schedules.
Battery Dispatch
Optimal battery charge/discharge scheduling based on price forecasting, peak demand, and arbitrage opportunities.
Power Scheduling
Day-ahead and real-time power scheduling with automated offer submission and settlement reconciliation.
Key Differentiators
Purpose-built for the Alberta electricity market with real-time AESO integration.
Seamless Integration
The Alberta Power Connector integrates with your existing control infrastructure. No rip-and-replace — we layer market intelligence on top of your current SCADA, PLC, and BMS systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does it handle AESO pool price volatility?
The Alberta Power Connector processes hourly AESO pool price updates, evaluating your configured thresholds within milliseconds of each hourly price publication. When prices cross your defined triggers, the system automatically executes your pre-configured response strategies — whether that means curtailing loads, dispatching generation, or adjusting battery schedules.
What is the response time to market signals?
Sub-second. From the moment a new hourly pool price is published by the AESO, our system evaluates conditions and issues control commands to your SCADA or BMS within milliseconds. This is orders of magnitude faster than any manual monitoring and response workflow.
Does it integrate with my existing control systems?
Yes. The connector works with your current SCADA, PLC, and BMS infrastructure using standard industrial protocols including OPC-UA, Modbus TCP/RTU, MQTT, and DNP3. No rip-and-replace required — we layer market intelligence on top of your existing systems.
How does it handle compliance and auditing?
Every automated action is logged with timestamps, trigger conditions, and outcomes. The system maintains a complete audit trail that satisfies Alberta regulatory requirements. All logs are exportable and can integrate with your existing compliance and reporting workflows.
