Your assets participate in the market. The question is whether they do it well
Arcobi Asset Participation & Strategy connects portfolio-level market objectives to asset-level execution - so generation fleets, storage assets, and flexible load all operate from the same intelligence and the same strategic direction.
Portfolio Revenue Loss Starts with Participation Decisions
Each asset in a portfolio has its own availability window, cost structure, and market eligibility. When participation decisions for generation, storage, and flexible load are made independently, assets end up competing with each other in the same market windows. When portfolio strategy and asset execution share one intelligence layer, those conflicts disappear. Generation fleets bid at prices grounded in forecast conditions. Storage assets position around the price curve rather than a fixed schedule.
Without shared intelligence
Storage charges when generation should be dispatched. Load curtails when the price signal is low. DR assets miss activation windows because the grid stress signal arrived too late.
With shared intelligence
All assets run from the same forward view of the market. Generation, storage, and flexible load operate from one strategy — not three independent ones in conflict.
The decisions that define Market Participation
Which markets and demand response programs an asset participates in determines its revenue ceiling. Arcobi forecasts of price, demand, and grid conditions inform whether enrollment in a given program or market structure is worth the operational commitment.
Generation fleets, BESS, gas facilities, and flexible load assets each have different dispatch logic, cost structures, and market eligibility. Arcobi structures participation rules by asset type so each asset operates within the parameters that maximize its value contribution.
Portfolio strategy translates into asset-level instructions: when to dispatch, when to curtail, what price floor to hold, and which market windows to target. Managed centrally and updated with market conditions.
Arcobi forecasts of grid stress conditions provide forward visibility into activation likelihood — allowing strategy teams to position assets ahead of the notification rather than in response to it.
Generation, storage, and flexible load assets operating in the same markets and time windows need coordination. Arcobi provides the shared intelligence foundation that keeps portfolio positions consistent across asset classes and market structures.
From market intelligence to asset-level execution
25+ Years of Curated Market Data
Arcobi builds 25+ years of North American power market data across all major ISOs — including price, grid metrics, demand data, generation availability, weather drivers, and 350,000+ streams. Every participation strategy is built on this foundation.
Forecasts Structured as Strategic Inputs
AI forecasting produces short- and medium-term price, demand and grid conditions. These are structured not just as data outputs but as strategic inputs: which market windows are worth targeting, which programs warrant enrollment, and how participation parameters should be set.
One Platform, One Strategic Direction
Asset participation rules are managed consistently from one coordinated strategy layer. When conditions shift, rules update. New Dispatch is the stack strategy flow directly into automated execution with human oversight at every step.
Expert Oversight Where It Counts
AI produces the market intelligence. Domain experts validate outputs under market conditions, topology transitions, and significant weather events. The combination produces participation strategy built on both fast, reliable across normal and edge-case conditions.
What Better Participation Strategy Delivers
Assets Enrolled
Assets enrolled in markets without a shared strategy framework
A centralized participation strategy layer that maps each asset type to the right markets based on capabilities and cost structure.
Consistent market positions and fewer conflicting bids across the portfolio.
Demand Response Participation
Demand response participation decisions are reactive rather than forward-looking
Forward visibility into grid stress and activation conditions for enrolled DR programs.
Consistent market positions and fewer conflicting bids across Faster response and more reliable demand response earnings. the portfolio.
Participation Rules
Participation rules for different asset types are managed in disconnected systems
One strategy layer holding participation rules by asset type, updated as market conditions change.
Reduced operational complexity and fewer gaps between strategy and execution.
Generation and Storage
Generation and storage compete in the same market windows without coordination
Shared forward intelligence across all assets, with visibility into when each asset creates the most value.
Portfolio-level revenue gains from assets working together rather than competing.
Strategy
Strategy team and operations team work from different data sources
A shared intelligence layer connecting market intelligence, participation strategy, and asset execution in one platform.
Fewer gaps between what the strategy intended and what the assets actually did.
Who is it for
Built for teams that trade, model, and productize data
Operators managing dispatchable generation need participation strategy grounded in forward price and demand intelligence. Participation rules built on forecast conditions produce better market positions than parameters set from historical averages.
Battery storage value is time-sensitive. Participation strategy that reflects where prices are going — not where they have been — positions storage assets for the windows that generate the most arbitrage and ancillary service revenue.
Large commercial and industrial organizations with dispatchable load or demand response enrollment participate in markets whether or not they have a trading desk. Arcobi makes that engagement systematic rather than reactive.
Aggregators managing DR participation across multiple assets and customers need a coherent strategy layer that reflects program rules, asset availability, and forward grid conditions simultaneously.
Independent power producers and developers managing mixed fleets across multiple ISOs benefit from a shared strategy layer that coordinates participation across generation types, storage, and demand-side assets.
What makes this different
Strategy built for execution, not just documentation
Most planning tools produce strategy documents but stop before execution. Arcobi’s platform turns forecast intelligence into live participation strategy that connects directly into market and asset systems.
Proprietary data at every layer
Arcobi is trained on over 25 years of market data, including 350,000+ streams and all major North American ISOs. The input layer is extensive and AI models are built on public ISO data.
One intelligence layer for the entire portfolio
Portfolio strategy, asset strategy, and market structure are coordinated through one intelligence layer. Shared intelligence keeps asset and market positions aligned and asset operations consistent across the market.
Strategy connected to dispatch
With Dispatch in the stack, the intelligence behind strategy participation moves faster directly into asset execution. Forecasts are translated. The gap between strategy and asset operations stays one platform.
Human judgment where it counts
AI diagnoses the market intelligence. Domain experts validate outputs under market conditions. The combination produces participation strategy that is fast and reliable across normal and edge-case market conditions.
What Coherent Participation Strategy Delivers
Better market enrollment decisions. More coherent participation rules across asset types. Portfolio positions that reflect a shared strategic direction rather than independent asset-level guesswork.

Frequently asked questions
What does onboarding look like?
Arcobi configures participation strategy frameworks and market intelligence for your specific assets, markets, and operational objectives. Built for rapid deployment with minimal integration overhead.
Can this support multiple ISOs and market structures?
Yes. Arcobi provides portfolio-level participation intelligence across multiple assets, ISOs, and market structures. The platform is built for organizations with complex, multi-market participation needs spanning ERCOT, PJM, MISO, CAISO, NYISO, ISO-NE, SPP, IESO, and AESO.
How does this integrate with existing energy management systems?
Participation rules and strategy outputs are delivered via dashboards, REST API, and direct integration with Dispatch. Arcobi is designed to fit into existing operational workflows rather than replace them.
Do we need to use Dispatch to benefit from Asset Participation & Strategy?
No. Participation strategy intelligence, market enrollment guidance, and asset-level participation rules are available standalone. Dispatch adds automated execution when you are ready to close the loop between strategy and action.
Which asset types does this support?
Generation fleets, battery energy storage systems, gas facilities, and flexible load portfolios across all major North American ISOs. Arcobi's participation strategy framework is designed for organizations with mixed asset types and multi-market participation needs.
Define how your assets participate. Across every market.
