Your Assets Bid When the Market Peaks.Even at 3am
End-to-end dispatch automation backed by a 24/7 staffed power operations center. Arcobi Dispatch manages your generation and storage assets with full transparency, compliance, and accountability — bidding into the highest-value market opportunities as conditions shift.
The Value in Your Assets Depends on When You Deploy Them
Generation, storage, and flexible load assets participate in markets where timing determines return. Day-ahead and real-time prices diverge. Ancillary service windows open and close. Grid conditions shift with little warning.
The assets are available. What determines whether they capture value is the system coordinating them.
Missing a bid window, acting on stale intelligence, or dispatching without proper authorization means lost revenue, compliance exposure, or both.
- [ 01 ]
Bidding windows close fast
Day-ahead and real-time markets run on strict submission timelines. A missed or suboptimal bid means your assets sit idle during hours they could have been generating revenue. - [ 02 ]
Price and grid conditions shift between forecast and execution
By the time intelligence reaches the dispatch desk and a decision is made, conditions have moved. Operational latency is a measurable
cost. - [ 03 ]
Dispatch without controls creates compliance risk
Undocumented approvals, unauthorized actions, and incomplete audit trails are compliance liabilities. Every dispatch decision needs to be traceable. - [ 04 ]
Human bandwidth limits market participation
Staffing your own dispatch desk across markets, time zones, and market cycles is operationally intensive. Most organizations lack the capacity to participate continuously. - [ 05 ]
Forecast and execution live in separate systems
When market intelligence does not connect directly to execution, the value of the forecast degrades with every handoff. Delay is the enemy of dispatch. - [ 06 ]
Multi-asset coordination is operationally complex
Generation, BESS, flexible load, and gas facilities each carry different operational constraints. Coordinating them without a unified dispatch layer creates conflicts and missed positions.
What the POC Handles for You
Submissions
Day-ahead and real-time bid submissions require timely, optimized entries.
24/7 operations center constructs and submits bids based on live price and grid forecasts.
Assets positioned in the right markets at the right time without manual intervention.
Real Time Grid
Real-time grid conditions shift after day-ahead bids are placed.
Operations center monitors live conditions and adjusts within your operational parameters.
Capture rate improves as execution tracks actual market conditions rather than stale forecasts.
Storage Value
Energy storage value depends on charge/discharge timing relative to price forecasts.
Price forecasts inform charge and discharge dispatch, maximizing spread capture across market intervals.
BESS assets capture the price spread rather than cycling on fixed schedules.
Ancillary Service
Ancillary service commitments require round-the-clock operational readiness.
Operations center monitors ancillary service conditions and manages commitments across market cycles.
Ancillary revenue captured without requiring in-house 24/7 staffing.
Compliance
Compliance requires traceable authorization for every dispatch decision.
Every bid submission and dispatch action is documented with full approval records.
Compliance requirements met without adding overhead to daily operations.
Continuous Forecast-to-Dispatch Integration
Market Forecasting
Arcobi AI Forecasts deliver short-term predictions for wholesale prices, ancillary service conditions, and grid state. The operations center uses these to identify optimal bid windows and set positions across day-ahead and real-time markets.
Bid Construction & Submission
Trained market operators construct and submit bids on your behalf, calibrating Price-Quantity pairs and participation levels to actual market conditions. Bids are structured to maximize capture across every relevant market and interval.
Real-Time Monitoring & Adjustment
Grid conditions shift after day-ahead bids are placed. The operations center monitors real-time developments and adjusts dispatch instructions within your defined operational parameters as conditions evolve.
Compliance & Documentation
Every decision is documented. Market submissions, approval records, and dispatch actions are logged with the detail your compliance and operations teams require for audit and regulatory purposes.
Operate across multiple ISOs and market types without scaling your own dispatch desk. Arcobi's operations center handles the market interface; your team stays in control of strategy.
BESS value depends entirely on timing. The operations center coordinates charge and discharge dispatch against live price forecasts to capture spread, not just participation.
On-site generation, behind-the-meter storage, or demand response assets qualify for market revenue. Dispatch makes that participation continuous and managed without internal operational overhead.
Manage large, complex portfolios across generation types with a dispatch layer that coordinates assets, honors constraints, and maintains full compliance documentation.
Forecast-Connected Execution
The operations center runs on the same forecast intelligence that powers Arcobi AI Forecasting. There is no manual handoff between prediction and action. When a price forecast triggers a threshold, the execution path follows directly.
Built for Compliance from the Ground Up
Audit trail, operator approval routing, and least-privilege access controls are native to the platform, not layered on afterward. Every dispatched action is documented and traceable.
Human Expertise Where Automation Cannot Go
A staffed operations center and an intelligent automation layer in the same product. Human expertise handles market strategy, edge cases, and regulatory complexity. Automation handles signal routing, optimization, and execution.
Phased Adoption on Your Terms
The system supports phased adoption. You configure the level of human oversight, approval routing, and automation that fits your operational requirements today and expand from there.
What Full-Cycle Dispatch Delivers
Across the Arcobi customer base, more than $1B in energy cost savings opportunities have been identified. For generation and storage operators, the primary driver is capture rate: the percentage of available market opportunity that converts to actual revenue.
Reduced dispatch overhead. Zero compliance gaps from undocumented actions. Market participation that runs continuously — not just during business hours.

Frequently asked questions
What does onboarding look like?
Arcobi configures operational guardrails, approval workflows, and dispatch parameters to your assets and markets. The Power Operations Center is fully operational from day one.
What asset types does Dispatch support?
Generation, battery storage, flexible load, and gas facilities. Each asset class supports configurable operational constraints and guardrails that define the parameters within which the operations center operates.
How does the operations center connect to AI Forecasting?
The connection is native to the platform. Forecast outputs — including price direction, peak probability, and ancillary signals — flow directly into the dispatch decision layer without a manual handoff.
How are compliance and audit requirements handled?
Every dispatch action carries a complete record. Operator approvals are logged at each step. Access controls are least-privilege by design. The system is built to satisfy compliance requirements without creating operational overhead.
Does Dispatch require full automation from day one?
No. The system supports phased adoption. You configure the level of human oversight, approval routing, and automation that fits your operational requirements today and expand from there at your own pace.
What markets does Dispatch cover?
Major North American ISOs including day-ahead and real-time energy markets, ancillary services, and capacity markets across ERCOT, PJM, MISO, CAISO, NYISO, ISO-NE, SPP, IESO, and AESO. Contact us for specific market and program availability.
