Multi-stage generation enhancements

The ISO implemented the multi-stage generation modeling functionality in December 2010 that optimizes the commitment and dispatch of generating units that have multiple operating configurations. Through analysis of commitment, dispatch and market outcomes for multi-stage generation resources, the ISO and stakeholders have identified potential refinements to the procedure. This initiative will lead to the design of the new multi-stage generation functionalities.
