Common use of Generation Dispatch Order Clause in Contracts

Generation Dispatch Order. Purpose: Dispatch information combined with unit availability information permits each Party to develop a reasonably accurate dispatch for any modeled condition. This methodology is more advantageous than scaling all available generation to meet generation commitments within an area and then increasing all generation uniformly to model an export, or uniformly decreasing all generation to model an import. While excluding nuclear generation or hydro units from this scaling would provide some level of refinement, this approach is inadequate to identify transmission constraints and determine rational TTC/ATC/AFC values. On the other extreme, although economic data could be shared to allow an economic dispatch to be determined for each

On the other extreme, although economic data could be shared to allow an economic dispatch to be determined for eacheach level of generation commitment, this level of refinement is generally unnecessary, and the data is
