Invitation broadened, to assist us in completing the development of NEMreview v7

This number will climb considerably further before we are ready to fully release the new software. Along with what’s currently a sample set of AEMO data included for the NEM, we have already included:
1)   Historical weather measurements (temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc) for more than 1000 weather measurement points across Australia.   We have currently collected at least 10 years of history, and are looking to go back to 1999 to line up with the start of the NEM;
2)   Earlier this year we began the incorporation of historical (annual) LGC registration data for all the Large-Scale Renewable Generators registered with the Clean Energy Regulator;
3)   Coupled with this, we have a time-series of green prices (from Green Energy Trading) included;
4)   We’ve utilised the NEMFuturesUpdater to feed into NEMreview end-of-day Price, Volume and Open Interest for all Base, Peak and Cap contracts created by ASX Energy and traded for the four mainland regions;
5)   We’ve started adding in data from the AEMO for the electricity market covering the South-West Interconnected System (SWIS) in WA;
6)   Reconciling the different registrations systems for power stations (i.e. AEMO for the NEM, IMO for the WEM, and Clean Energy Regulator for Large-Scale Renewable, plus more to come) has required us to compile a master list of power stations with meta data, Australia-wide, in a Generator Catalog that will be provided as part of a client’s NEMreview subscription, expanding on what’s in v6 (and extending out to prospective plant).

That’s a fair few data sets already – however we recognise that there’s a long, long list of other data sets we could be adding in.Rather than provide you a detailed list (and possibly skew the input you might provide us) we’d like to hear from you about what you would like to see in NEMreview v7.

However I would like to flag, up front, two obvious data sets that are missing and will definitely be included:
1a)   Currently there is no gas market data included in the early beta of v7.   This is flagged for inclusion for both the STTM and the Victorian markets [TFS-9706] but we would particularly like to hear from you if you have specific requirements in terms of which data (we’re already collecting a fair bit for other purposes, just want to be sure that what we add in is useful).
1b)  Also, if you can help us find good data for gas on the west [TFS-9345], please let us know?
2)   We’ll also be adding in “simplified” bid data from generators in the NEM [TFS-9342] (we have several other, much richer, visualisations already in ez2view and are not seeking to reinvent that wheel).

Beyond those two other additions, there is a long, long list of other data sets we could include – but we really want to be led by you, in terms of what’s important to you?

We made a conscious choice to focus that version on analysts who did not work at the large market participants (we have other products, like ez2view, that provide for this), but rather to focus on making NEMreview more useable, and understandable, to analysts sitting on the outside of the market, looking in (and perhaps being as interested in the specifics of AEMO MMS lingo as a result).This broader external focus will continue with NEMreview v7, but will expand to encompass electricity, gas and green for the whole of the country.
