Ascend Analytics, a leading developer of innovative software solutions for energy analytics, today announced that the PowerSimm analytics software platform has developed new tools for Dynamic Hedging and Hedge optimization.

PowerSimm provides the analytic and data infrastructure to support decision analysis from the balance of month to the next 10 years.  Making better models requires getting the details right to accurately represent the physical and financial dynamics of energy supply.  PowerSimm accurately simulates the relationship between weather, load and spot prices.  Unlike the competition, PowerSimm also simulates forward curves, maintaining the covariant relationships between commodities.   With this release, PowerSimm has created daily reports that allow our clients to view their delta positions along with potentially actionable optimal hedge strategies to preserve expected cash flow.  

Dynamic hedge optimization techniques imply that organizations will examine their positions and simulate future outcomes more frequently (usually weekly).  By providing spot and forward price simulations as well as modeling other physical and financial risk elements, PowerSimm can provide more accurate position analysis in terms of value & risks.  By adding delta position and customizable hedge reports, PowerSimm can provide actionable hedge optimization recommendations.
