| Maintenance window selection | Support the O and M planner by comparing resource, weather, access, crane, labour, price and constraint scenarios. |
| Major component planning | Model long-duration outages, logistics, wind limits, crane standby and opportunity cost. |
| Fleet campaign prioritisation | Sequence inspections or replacements across assets using risk and value. |
| Spares strategy | Relate failure risk, lead time, commonality and downtime exposure to stock decisions. |
7.7 BESS and hybrid optimisation¶
| Service | Purpose |
|---|---|
| BESS dispatch model | Optimise energy and FCAS participation subject to SOC, power, efficiency and degradation limits. |
| Hybrid coordination | Coordinate wind or solar generation, storage, export limits and contracts. |
| Degradation-aware value | Trade off cycling revenue against wear, warranty, augmentation and availability. |
| Forecast-informed scheduling | Use price, renewable generation, demand and constraint scenarios with uncertainty. |
| Strategy backtesting | Compare candidate rules or optimisation models against consistent historical scenarios. |
7.8 Portfolio and fleet optimisation¶
| Service | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Asset versus fleet objective | Compare standalone asset value with portfolio, PPA and risk objectives. |

| Shared constraint management | Coordinate assets affected by common transmission, export or operational limits. |
| Capital allocation | Prioritise upgrades, reliability work and storage using risk-adjusted portfolio value. |
| Scenario planning | Test weather, demand, outage, price, policy and technology pathways. |
7.9 Forecasting and market intelligence¶
| Service | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Price and dispatch forecasting | Develop decision-support forecasts with uncertainty and performance monitoring. |
| Renewable generation forecasting | Assess forecast error by horizon, condition and operational state. |
| Demand behaviour analysis | Study industrial load, data centres, electrification and regional seasonality. |
| Bid stack intelligence | Analyse public bid, dispatch, constraint and ownership information without claiming private intent. |
| Policy and rule monitoring | Track material market, regulatory and scheme changes and assess operational implications. |
7.10 Data engineering and digital products¶
