The challenge

Aggregated Dispatch Conformance (ADC) decisions, made within the interval.

Conformance rules differ by plant type, and hybrid plants can conform in more than one way. Interpreting the raw market data takes time an operator doesn’t have when decisions must be made within a five-minute interval. Availability submissions add another set of obligations, with different rules for different generators.

Monitor and optimise dispatch performance, availability and compliance.

Plan outages once

Enter planned outages and let NEXO submit your ST and MT PASA for you.

Check generation at a glance

See site generation against dispatch instructions, reformatted so it’s quick to scan.

Built for hybrids

Understands aggregate and individual mode conformance for hybrid systems.

Dispatch without interruption

Keep receiving dispatch instructions even when your site’s direct connection drops.

Everything you need to meet your market obligations.

FAQs

How is MarketLink deployed and accessed?+

MarketLink is accessible via the NEXO platform.

Which markets and asset types does it support?+

MarketLink supports all asset types.

Can MarketLink be used without other NEXO modules?+

Yes, MarketLink is a stand-alone NEXO module.

Do I need to submit ST PASA and MT PASA to AEMO?+

Users specify the site’s availability during any planned outages for the days and weeks ahead in an intuitive interface, and NEXO handles the submission of ST PASA and/or MT PASA to AEMO.

Does MarketLink notify users when a site is non-conformant?+

MarketLink has both NEXO platform visualisations and notifications of the site’s dispatch conformance, plus flexible SMS/email alerts that can be configured to be sent to your control room if a site is non-conformant.

Does MarketLink track Aggregate Dispatch Conformance?+

Yes. Conformance can be complicated to assess at speed for Aggregate Systems. MarketLink has been designed to handle Aggregate Systems out of the box, so operators can immediately understand whether all DUIDs are conforming individually or in aggregate.

Does MarketLink track the Frequency Performance Payment (FPP) performance of my asset?+

MarketLink provides visualisations and standardised reporting to track the FPP, and used and unused FCAS performance of your site, including the savings generated by any utilised self-forecasts.
