California ISO

Multi-Stage Generating (MSG) Unit Modeling

Background

The California ISO (the ISO) is developing software functionality for modeling Multi-Stage Generating Units (such as combined cycle generating plants). These units pose particular challenges with respect to modeling and dispatch because they have multiple configurations in which they can operate and forbidden regions in which they cannot operate. The ISO seeks to review with stakeholders the key policy issues that arise with modeling these units, and to maintain an open dialog as implementation of the MSG functionality goes forward. MSG functionality is targeted for release on October 1, 2010.

Due to the move in the implementation timeline of MSG modeling functionality from April to October of 2010, the ISO is providing for reinstatement of the forbidden operating region functionality in the real time market for the interim period. Materials related to the forbidden operating region effort are provided on this page along with the MSG policy and implementation materials.
