European power markets traded over 3,000 TWh in 2024, yet most trading desks still rely on fragmented spreadsheets and delayed dashboards. Lumina connects weather models, grid data, and market signals into a single reasoning layer that keeps pace with volatile, renewables-driven markets.
No sign-up required. Your data stays in your environment. Local-first architecture.
The Strategic Gap
Day-ahead price volatility has increased 40% since 2020 (ACER, 2024), driven by renewable intermittency and cross-border congestion events up 35% year-over-year (ENTSO-E). McKinsey estimates AI-driven trading optimization can improve margins by 5 to 15%. The gap between available data and actionable insight is widening.
Day-ahead, intraday, and balancing market data sit in separate systems. Traders manually reconcile price curves across exchanges, losing minutes in markets where seconds matter.
Wind and solar forecasts flow into one model, generation schedules into another, and curtailment alerts into a third. No unified view connects meteorological data to MW output in real time.
Spark spreads, dark spreads, and clean spark spreads require combining fuel prices, carbon costs, and efficiency rates across multiple feeds. Errors compound silently across the trading book.
REMIT surveillance and MAR monitoring rely on post-trade batch analysis. Suspicious trading patterns surface hours or days after the fact, exposing desks to enforcement risk.
Nomination inaccuracies and settlement discrepancies erode margins quietly. Most desks lack the tooling to attribute imbalance penalties to specific positions or forecasting errors.
Battery charge and discharge schedules are set using static heuristics rather than dynamic price forecasts. Revenue stacking across energy, capacity, and ancillary services remains largely manual.
What Lumina Does
Lumina does not replace your engineers or your existing systems. It adds a reasoning layer on top, turning the data you already collect into intelligence your teams can act on, verify, and trust.
Lumina's Exploration engine continuously runs hypothesis tests: anomaly clustering, correlation analysis, severity scoring. It delivers findings proactively, the way an experienced operator spots patterns that 'don't look right'.
Through the Dialogue Intelligence Framework™, a six-layer cognitive architecture, agents reason across all your data sources simultaneously. Fragmented data becomes connected understanding.
Configured by your engineers, trained on your procedures, compounding context over time. Each interaction builds a knowledge base that scales.
Tensions that take days in meetings are resolved in seconds. Agents vote, alert, and challenge each other, with every position grounded in data and rationale visible.
Every query is valid SQL. Every calculation executed by a database, not an LLM. When someone asks 'how did you calculate that?', the agent shows the query, the data, and the method.
Your data does not move to us. SaaS, private cloud, on-premises, or air-gapped. Bring your own LLM through Ollama, or export agents for Claude, Copilot, or any MCP-compatible tool.
How It Works
The Dialogue Intelligence Framework™ transforms power trading workflows by connecting traders, analysts, and risk managers to a shared reasoning layer. Rather than replacing human judgment, DIF structures the conversation between market data, weather intelligence, and grid signals so that every decision is grounded in the full context of the trading book.
Ask questions in plain language. Agents respond with reasoned answers, suggest follow-up questions, and guide you toward the decision you need to make.
Proactive scan engine for your data: cluster analysis, correlation, Benford's law, severity scoring. Proactive hypothesis testing that surfaces what you did not know to look for.
Raw findings are synthesized into composites that connect cause, context, and consequence. Not just 'this is anomalous' but 'here is what it means for your operation'.
A six-engine pipeline (DSP, Policy, Semantic Guard, LLM, Classifier, Memory, Audit) judges what agents can access, say, and do. Per-agent configuration. Zero trust by default.
Agents build context over time through a three-tier memory architecture: Local knowledge, team-level awareness, and organizational intelligence that compounds with use.
Reasoning and tools are separated by design. LLMs plan the query. DuckDB executes the calculation on your data. No black-box results. Every step visible.
This is not a chatbot with a database connection. It is a complete cognitive architecture where every layer serves a purpose and every output is traceable.

Price Forecasting, Spread Analysis, Position Management
European day-ahead auctions clear over 1,500 TWh annually, while intraday continuous trading has grown 25% year-over-year. Traders must synthesize weather forecasts, demand curves, generation stack merit orders, and cross-border flow data to set competitive bids. The shift to 15-minute settlement periods in many markets has compressed decision windows further.
Build day-ahead, intraday, and balancing market price models that incorporate weather ensembles, demand forecasts, generation stack data, and cross-border transmission capacity. Identify pricing anomalies across DK1/DK2 and other bidding zones before the market clears.
Calculate and monitor spark spreads, dark spreads, and clean spark spreads in real time by combining fuel prices, carbon permit costs (EU ETS), and plant efficiency rates. Detect cross-border arbitrage opportunities across interconnected markets.
Track portfolio exposure across physical and financial positions with continuous mark-to-market valuation. Attribute P&L to individual trading strategies, desks, and time horizons to surface concentration risks before they materialize.

Wind & Solar Forecasting, Storage Optimization, Grid Congestion
Renewable generation now accounts for over 40% of European electricity production, but intermittency introduces forecast errors that cascade into imbalance costs averaging EUR 50 to 80 per MWh during peak deviation periods. Integrating storage assets and managing congestion across transmission corridors requires real-time coordination that most legacy systems cannot deliver.
Combine numerical weather prediction (NWP) ensembles with satellite imagery and historical generation data to predict wind and solar output at 15-minute granularity. Detect ramp events and curtailment risk windows before they trigger imbalance penalties.
Optimize charge and discharge schedules for battery energy storage systems (BESS) using dynamic price signals from day-ahead and intraday markets. Model degradation curves alongside revenue stacking across energy arbitrage, frequency response, and capacity market participation.
Monitor transmission constraints and redispatch volumes across bidding zones in real time. Quantify the cost impact of congestion on locational marginal prices and identify optimal injection points to minimize redispatch exposure.

Hedging Intelligence, Regulatory Compliance, Settlement & Reconciliation
Power trading desks face a dual mandate: maximize risk-adjusted returns while maintaining full compliance with REMIT and EMIR obligations. With regulators increasing scrutiny on market manipulation and position limit breaches, the cost of compliance failures now exceeds EUR 10 million in average fines. Automated surveillance and real-time risk quantification are no longer optional.
Calculate Value at Risk (VaR), Conditional VaR (CVaR), and optimal hedge ratios across the trading portfolio. Monitor counterparty credit exposure and margin requirements dynamically, adjusting hedge positions as market conditions shift.
Automate REMIT transaction reporting and suspicious trade detection with real-time surveillance models. Track position limits under EMIR, flag potential market abuse patterns, and generate audit-ready compliance reports without manual data gathering.
Analyze imbalance costs by decomposing settlement volumes against nominated positions. Attribute penalties to specific forecast errors, nomination mismatches, or scheduling delays. Track nomination accuracy trends to reduce systematic imbalance exposure over time.
