The challenge

Making fast, well-informed decisions is becoming increasingly difficult.

Electricity markets re-price every five minutes. Batteries and hybrid plants must navigate dispatch instructions, state-of-charge limits, warranty conditions, power purchase agreements and network constraints. Managing these competing requirements while responding to market volatility demands intelligent tools that empower traders.

Optimise your market participation, manually or automatically.

Optimal revenue outcomes

BidPilot executes your trading strategy in real time, continuously adapting bids to changing market conditions to capture opportunities and maximise asset value.

Advanced hybrid optimisation

Purpose-built algorithms coordinate bidding and dispatch across solar, battery and hybrid assets, including complex Mixed Aggregate configurations.

Complex constraints, managed

From dispatch instructions and state-of-charge limits to battery warranties, contractual obligations and network curtailment, BidPilot integrates competing constraints into every bidding decision.

Your strategy, intelligently executed

Configure trading objectives, operating parameters and risk settings to ensure BidPilot executes your strategy while keeping traders in control.

Everything you need to bid, monitor and review.

FAQs

Does the autobidder support customisable PPA settings?+

Yes. Each site’s PPA settings are built into the autobidder’s logic, so bidding decisions are automatically optimised for that site’s agreements.

Can the autobidder be overridden?+

Yes. The autobidder can be authorised to send bids directly to AEMO, or not. If it isn’t, it still generates bid suggestions for review, so your trader has the final say before submission.

Can I still submit bids via AEMO’s Market Portal?+

Yes. Any bid submitted via AEMO’s Market Portal is visible in BidPilot alongside bids created in NEXO.

Autobidder must be deauthorised when bidding manually.

Does BidPilot support bidirectional units?+

Yes. BidPilot is fully compatible with bidirectional units, enabling offers on both the generation and load side.

Does BidPilot support Mixed Aggregates?+

Yes. BidPilot is designed for Mixed Aggregate IRPs in the NEM. Using generation forecasts from PowerCast or a third-party provider, the autobidder schedules the battery, including charging from solar or wind.

How are the price forecasts calculated?+

Proa combines market data, advanced analytics and machine learning to generate accurate price forecasts. Special attention is given to forecasting price spikes, recognising their significant impact on trading outcomes.

What inputs does the autobidder take?+

BidPilot combines real-time plant data, market information, price and generation forecasts, and user-defined trading strategies to continuously optimise bidding decisions.
