Apollo Documentation
Welcome to the Apollo documentation. This knowledge base contains technical documentation, guides, and resources for working with Apollo.
What is Apollo?
Apollo is a market analysis tool designed to deliver enhanced and interactive visualizations. Apollo supports analysts and decision-makers by improving data interpretation while maintaining flexibility and control over visual presentation.
Advanced Visualization & Charting
- Hierarchical Data Structure: Visualizes market data through specialized object hierarchies, including Pool, Region, Site, Unit, Link, and Storage.
- Comprehensive Charting Suite: Features over 15 specialized power system charts, such as Fuel Stacks, BidStacks, and Net Load charts.
- Statistical Distribution Modeling: Utilizes boxplot representations (Min, Q1, Median, Q3, Max) across 24-hourly intervals to reveal daily load shapes and price volatility, moving beyond single-point forecasts.
Scenario Analysis & Automation
- Intelligent Scenario Setup: Provides a template-based designer for rapid configuration of Monte Carlo settings, bid scaling, and dispatch flags.
- Interactive Command Module: Facilitates the management and execution of automated simulation sequences for reproducible workflows and sensitivity analysis.
- High-Velocity Comparisons: Enables side-by-side evaluations of multiple simulation outcomes to assess policy changes, infrastructure impacts, or input sensitivities.
- Batch Series Summary: Automatically scans directories to aggregate and compare metrics across hundreds of alternative scenarios simultaneously.
Integrated Analytics & Specialized Tools
- Synchronized Real-Time Statistics (StatBar): Dynamically recalculates metrics (averages, totals, quartiles) based on the user's active data window, working in tandem with the Comparison View.
- Multi-Scenario Overlays: Allows analysts to overlay statistical profiles from four or more scenarios, or aggregate by fuel type, to evaluate market shifts.
- Storage Analytics: Delivers dedicated tracking for energy storage operations, monitoring State of Charge (SoC), charge/discharge cycles, and arbitrage performance.
