OptFolio
Energy Portfolios Management
Optimization and evaluation of energy portfolios with risk analysis, strategy simulation, and decision support in uncertain environments.
About OptFolio
OptFolio is a decision support tool developed to model, simulate, and optimize energy portfolios composed of physical and financial assets, such as power generation plants and power purchase and sale agreements (PPAs). The tool considers various uncertainties, including renewable energy generation and spot prices. Portfolio managers use OptFolio to assess financial risks, simulate and analyze trading strategies, and optimize the composition of their energy sources.

Integrating the investors' perspective into expansion planning
PSR revolutionizes expansion planning by incorporating the investor’s perspective into a centralized model. Traditional planning models often disregard investor preferences, which can lead to suboptimal project selection. OptFolio bridges this gap by seamlessly integrating with OptGen, our expansion planning tool.
OptFolio identifies an optimal portfolio of projects for energy systems, considering uncertainties and energy policies. By simulating investors’ risk analysis processes, it assigns premiums to riskier projects, reflecting these additional investment costs in OptGen. This iterative approach ensures that project selection aligns with both the central planner’s and investors’ objectives.
With OptFolio, expansion planning achieves a harmonious balance between system efficiency and investor attractiveness, promoting sustainable and profitable growth.
