SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF DETERMINING OPTIMAL SCHEDULING AND DISPATCH OF POWER RESOURCES

摘要

A system and process/method is provided, which economically optimizes thedispatch ofvarious electrical energy resources. The disclosed process/method is linked toandcommunicates with various sources of input data, including but not limited to,EMS/SCADAlegacy Energy Management Systems (EMS), legacy Supervisory Control and DataAcquisition(SCADA) Systems, Demand Response (DR) and Distributed Energy Resources (DER)monitor,control, schedule, and lifecycle management systems (DR/DER ManagementSystem), andEnergy Markets, electrical energy commodity trading systems (Trading Systems),andOperations System (OPS) in order to compute optimal day-ahead, day-of, andreal-timeschedules of various durational length for generation, demand response andstorage resourceswhile taking into account bilateral contracts and market-based tradeopportunities.
