OptimalAsset is a plug-and-play automated trading software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that monitors simultaneously the fluctuation in the renewable farm production and the dynamics of the wholesale market supply, demand and prices. It is based on a novel deep learning algorithm developed by SAMAWATT to sell in advance the renewable energy farm's future production in 3 markets, day-ahead, intra-day and imbalance. This sales transaction significantly minimizes the financial risk of intermittent power injection to the grid.
