Texas Power Connector
ERCOT Market Intelligence
Real-time integration with Texas's competitive electricity market. Automated load management, generator dispatch, and energy arbitrage driven by live ERCOT data.
Integrated with ERCOT Market
The ERCOT Market Challenge
Texas operates the largest competitive electricity market in the US. ERCOT's real-time pricing can swing from negative values to $5,000/MWh in minutes. Without automated response systems, operators face catastrophic exposure during extreme weather events, grid emergencies, and peak demand periods.
The Solution
The Texas Power Connector integrates directly with ERCOT APIs and your existing SCADA/control systems to automate power market response. Define your price thresholds, configure dispatch strategies, and let the system execute in real-time — with full audit trails and human override capability.
From sub-second price signal processing to automated generator dispatch, every action is logged, auditable, and reversible. Your operators stay in control while the system handles the speed.
How It Works
Core Capabilities
ERCOT API Integration
Real-time connection to ERCOT market data including Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP), system-wide offer curves, and congestion pricing.
Automated Curtailment
Intelligent load reduction triggered by ERCOT price spikes, Operating Reserve Demand Curve signals, or emergency grid conditions.
Generator Dispatch
Automated generator start/stop and output optimization based on real-time LMP, fuel costs, and heat rate curves.
Energy Arbitrage
Battery and flexible load scheduling to capture spread between off-peak and on-peak pricing for maximum revenue.
Ancillary Services
Automated participation in ERCOT ancillary service markets including Responsive Reserve, Regulation, and Non-Spinning Reserve.
Key Differentiators
Purpose-built for the Texas electricity market with real-time ERCOT integration and sub-second response.
Seamless Integration
The Texas Power Connector layers market intelligence on top of your current infrastructure. No rip-and-replace required — we integrate with your existing SCADA, PLC, BMS, and battery management systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast does it respond to ERCOT price changes?
The Texas Power Connector processes ERCOT price signals in sub-second timeframes. From the moment a new Locational Marginal Price is published, our system evaluates your configured thresholds and can issue control commands to your SCADA or BMS within milliseconds — far faster than any manual operator response.
Does it work with my existing SCADA system?
Yes. The connector layers on top of your current infrastructure using standard industrial protocols including OPC-UA, Modbus TCP/RTU, MQTT, and DNP3. There is no rip-and-replace required — we integrate with Allen-Bradley, Schneider, ABB, Emerson, and Ignition-based SCADA platforms.
What happens during grid emergencies?
The system monitors ERCOT Operating Reserve Demand Curve (ORDC) signals and grid emergency notifications in real time. When emergency conditions are detected, pre-configured response plans execute automatically — curtailing non-critical loads, dispatching backup generation, or adjusting battery discharge strategies to protect your operations and bottom line.
Is there human override capability?
Absolutely. Every automated decision point includes human override capability. Operators can pause automation, adjust thresholds, or take manual control at any time through the dashboard. All overrides are logged in the audit trail for regulatory compliance.
