In-depth Historical Analysis

Do you want to understand the NEM on a deeper level?

You could of course use a combination of raw NEM data extracted from SQL Server and Excel spreadsheets, but thats time consuming and painfully repetitive. The deSide Client Analysis feature makes everything so much easier.

We've taken the 4 most important queries that an energy user would want to calculate and we've made them so easy to use that you would have to be a masochist to want to do them any other way. The deSide Client Analysis feature lets you:

  • Do Market Trending analysis
    You can trend many different pieces of data over time, watching how they change.
  • Do Market Duration analysis
    You can find out how many times a piece of data fell within certain bands of values.
    Simple bar chart of Price Distribution for QLD, NSW and VIC.
  • Do Curtailment Summary
    You can calculate just how much money you would save from load shedding, using one of the load profiles you have recorded in the deSide Client myLoads feature.
  • Do Predispatch Convergence
    You can track how predispatch forecasts change over time.

As an added bonus you can choose how you want to display the results from any of the queries you create. The deSide Client Analysis feature allows you to display results in both tabular and graphical forms. Allowing you to use your analysis how you want to.
