This paper is a synthesis of the development of
energy contracting simulator in Portugal "ARS Simulator".
The simulator compares the prices of the energy traders and
indicates to consumers the best option to contract energy. To
make the comparison, the simulator uses trader’s data
(energy prices) and the consumer’s data (energy bill, threephase
or single-phase power supply and equipment's), to
estimate its consumption and finally determine which trader
will be the best choice.
