The portfolio is made up. Britain's wind figures and market prices are real, from Elexon; the intraday prices, which follow a typical day's shape with occasional spikes, and the battery's charge are simulated. So is the euro–pound rate behind the Dutch price in pounds. This page shows how much of the farm's expected output is not yet sold, for each half-hour of the next 24 hours, and what that open position is worth.
A half-hour can be traded until gate closure, one hour before it starts; the line under the headline counts down to the next one, by your computer's clock. A worker follows Elexon's wind figures and prices, and recalculates the position when any of them changes. The farm is a share of Britain's wind fleet, so its output is the national figure scaled down. Half-hours still open for trading, which close an hour before they start, are valued at intraday prices that move every few seconds around Britain's market index price; the rest are valued at the market index price itself. Sold power comes from the portfolio's trades, which repeat every day. The portfolio also holds a made-up battery with a charge of its own. A worker plans its best use of the half-hours still open at the intraday prices, and the planned megawatts count in those half-hours' expected output. A positive open position is long: more wind than is sold, which settles at the imbalance price. "Today so far" adds up, for each half-hour since UK midnight that Elexon has settled (about 90 minutes behind), what the trades earned and what the farm's output not sold earned at that half-hour's system price; the battery is left out of it, as it has no measured output. All times are UK time. How your trades would come in says how a trader's own trades and market data would replace the made-up ones.
