  • 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.
    • Outcome
      ISO implemented enhancements to multi-stage generating (MSG) unit modeling effective May 01, 2013, enabling participants to register two or more operating configurations as a group for each resource. The ISO market will enforce minimum up and down times by group, enabling better MSG participation and real-time operation. — Phase 3 implemented: May 01, 2013; Phase 2 implemented: April 2012; Phase 1 implemented: December 2011; FERC approval: Dec 11, 2013 - Multi-Stage Resource Adequacy Bids (ER14-93); Tariff amendment filing: Oct 15, 2013 - Revision to Multi-Stage Generator Adequacy Resource Bids (ER14-93); FERC approval: Mar 27, 2012 - Multi-Stage Generator Resource Modeling Functionality (ER12-992); Tariff amendment filing: Feb 03, 2012 Multi-Stage Generating Enhancements (ER12-992); Board of Governors approval: Oct 27, 2011
