Real-Time Data
Feel the Real-Time Power of ZEMA Data Capture
From our experience, one of the most complex and cumbersome tasks related to data capture in the energy market is the ability to aggregate and localize the vast amounts of market reports published by the regional ISOs, Power Pools and Exchanges.
Power market is overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information provided by the deregulated marketplace.
Using the ZEMA Suite you can easily manage, capture and centralize even the most taxing nodal minute data with almost
no market latency. When it comes to real-time market data, ZEMA is King.
Tackling Real-Time
Capturing an extensive amount of data from NYMEX, IESO, AESO, PJM, CAISO, ERCOT, MISO, MBSO, ISNO, NYISO, SPP and European ISOS. Our products are designed to take several major market issues into account:
- True Real Time Data: Capturing real time data and ensuring data timeliness is a key challenge faced by all market participants. Reports can be published on any minute frequency, on the hour, on the day, once a month, once a year or completely sporadically. ZEMA’s discrete and fully configurable scheduling engine can import real time data as frequently as on the second. This means that data is available immediately in the format you need.
- Unlimited Volume of reports: Across the various ISOs and Exchanges, the total number of potential reports reaches into the several hundreds and ZEMA can capture all of them.
- All forms of data We are not only capturing basic market prices but also outages, congestion, FTRs, load, forecasts, demand, usage, events and much more.
- Data Capture from Internal Systems ZEMA can capture back-office data from systems such as Dart, Adams Dispatch and PJM.
- Continuous Revision Tracking: ZEMA understands that market data can be re-published and that revisions to data are extremely important.
