Extended short term unit commitment
This initiative will increase the time horizon used in the Short Term Unit Commitment (STUC) process for the real-time market. This will enable STUC to see system needs over a greater length of time and therefore more efficiently commit units as necessary.
Outcome
Initiative is closed. After further evaluation, the ISO determined that the recent draft final proposal, which included changes suggested by stakeholders, would not be feasible to implement. The intended operational efficiency will be addressed in the Day-Ahead Market Enhancements initiative.
