In 2017, D. E. Shaw & Co. used Terabase PlantPredict to generate the reference energy prediction for the 40 MWac Cuyama Solar Project in the United States. D. E. Shaw & Co. deployed Terabase PlantPredict as a 2D/3D Simulation application to support project development and financing functions, producing bankable performance forecasts that underpinned EPC and O&M guarantees for a DESRI affiliate. The implementation was scoped to utility scale energy modeling at the project level, delivering the reference model used in contractual documentation.
The work concentrated on production forecasting and plant performance simulation capabilities, creating reference energy predictions and performance profiles aligned with standard 2D/3D Simulation workflows. Terabase PlantPredict outputs were consumed by project development and finance teams for underwriting and by EPC and O&M stakeholders to define performance guarantees. Configuration and modeling of plant layout, irradiance inputs and loss factors were applied consistent with energy prediction practices for photovoltaic projects.
Operational coverage was limited to the Cuyama Solar Project and the DESRI affiliate in the United States, where Terabase PlantPredict served as the single source for the reference energy model used in financing packages and guarantee language. The engagement demonstrates Terabase PlantPredict role in utility scale energy modeling and bankable performance forecasting within the 2D/3D Simulation category. No additional outcomes beyond support for project development, financing and EPC and O&M guarantees were stated.

In 2010, D. E. Shaw & Co. implemented FINCAD Analytics to support Risk Management for pricing and settlement workflows. The deployment centralized model-based pricing across multiple asset classes, positioning FINCAD Analytics as the firmwide pricing engine used in daily production and as a reference price for desk operations.
The implementation included development and automation of quantitative models for volatility derivatives, options, FX forwards and convertible bonds, with specific models such as an FX Black Scholes variant using skew adjusted volatility and a credit cliquet valuation using Monte Carlo simulation and a risk premium. Model automation responsibilities included producing specification documents for the engineering team, instrumenting systematic price generation using FINCAD Analytics services, and embedding model-level checks to validate inputs and outputs before production.
Integrations were explicitly built to ingest market data from third party vendors, including a move to an idc real time feed for market prices, Bloomberg for interest rate curves with timed curve snapshots, SuperDerivatives for volatility surfaces used in Var and Vol swaps, and Markit Partners for CDS spreads. Settlement pricing processes for options, volatility derivatives, futures, commodities and FX forwards were automated, and the implementation tied pricing outputs into middle office, trade capture and accounting workflows through coordinated work with Fin Operations and the tech team.
Governance and control were formalized with stringent pre-production checks based on price movement, pricing input validation, market value differences and deviations from model prices, with historical backtesting before production release and an outlier dashboard to flag anomalous prices in real time. Audit interactions were codified, with monthly pricing audits by Citco and quarterly and annual reviews by EY, and automated FVMT levelling rules and reporting were created to generate L3 asset reports that document valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs. The D. E. Shaw & Co. FINCAD Analytics Risk Management deployment therefore unified pricing, data sourcing and governance across the firm’s pricing and settlement functions.
