What does this programme cover?

Economic dispatch and unit commitment decisions made on rough merit order tables, outdated heat-rate curves and hand-set reserve margins waste fuel, strand units in costly starts and expose the grid when ramp capability runs short. This Core Concept course equips system operators, generation planners and utility engineers to model generator costs, solve lambda iteration dispatch with transmission losses, formulate unit commitment with reserve, ramp and minimum up and down time constraints, and schedule renewables and storage. Participants produce a Day-Ahead Unit Commitment and Dispatch Schedule for a sample generation fleet.
