We've broken a lot of new ground with this version, and this version will serve as our official launch into the Eastern U.S. We've worked closely with our Eastern customers, and responded to the needs of the market. Some of the enhancements: AURORA SOFTWARE MODELING ENHANCEMENTS: * Energy Storage-Resources (Pumped hydro) * Market Areas: no limit on number of areas * Transmission: congestion pricing. * Price Caps * Risk Analysis * Modeling Enhancements via VB Scripting: "Update Data" capability GENERAL CAPABILITIES * AURORA's run time speed improved again. * File transfers to EPIS * Interface Enhancements REPORTING ENHANCEMENTS * Marginal Resource reporting * Resource operations reporting * Resource stacks detail consolidated AURORA DATABASES * East-Central AURORA Database -- 25 market areas modeled with 11 market areas in New York ISO. * WSCC AURORA Database -- updated IPP resources * ERCOT AURORA Database - updated resources * All databases updated to use the new modeling capabilities As AURORA continues to grow, and we meet the needs of the market, we have made several procedural changes. We continue to offer free 7-day demos to those companies that want to take a look at the model, and get a brief idea of how it thinks and feels. After that 7-day demo period we now offer either a discount for moving into a full license, or we offer a 60-day trial for $10,000.00 --We also now offer more options for the licensing of the model. Annual Licenses are priced as follows: Single User (1 User / 1 PC) $33,000.00 Limited-Use (1 User / Multiple PCs OR Multiple Users / 1 PC) $45,000.00 Two-User (2 Users / 2 PCs) $55,000.00 Site License (Unlimited Users/PCs excluding Affiliates) $79,000.00 Affiliate-Site (Unlimited Users/PCs including Affiliates) $99,000.00 For additional information, please contact me, and I'll speak with you about how AURORA can help you in your specific operations and projects.
