Name

DISPATCHLOAD

Comment

DISPATCHLOAD set out the current SCADA MW and target MW for each dispatchable unit, including relevant Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS) enabling targets for each five minutes and additional fields to handle the new Ancillary Services functionality. Fast Start Plant status is indicated by dispatch mode.


Description

DISPATCHLOAD data is confidential for the current day, showing own details for participant and becomes public after close of business yesterday, and is available to all participants.

Source

DISPATCHLOAD shows data for every 5 minutes for all units, even zero targets.

Volume

Expect 40-50,000 records per day. All units are repeated, even zero targets.

Note

** A flag exists for each ancillary service type such that a unit trapped or stranded in one or more service type can be immediately identified. The flag is defined using the low 3 bits as follows:

Flag Name

Bit

Description

Enabled

0

The unit is enabled to provide this ancillary service type.

Trapped

1

The unit is enabled to provide this ancillary service type, however the profile for this service type is causing the unit to be trapped in the energy market.

Stranded

2

The unit is bid available to provide this ancillary service type, however, the unit is operating in the energy market outside of the profile for this service type and is stranded from providing this service.

Interpretation of the bit-flags as a number gives the following possibilities (i.e. other combinations are not possible):

Numeric Value

Bit (2,1,0)

Meaning

0

000

Not stranded, not trapped, not enabled (i.e. is unavailable).

1

001

Not stranded, not trapped, is enabled (i.e. available).

3

011

Not stranded, is trapped, is enabled (i.e. trapped).

4

100

Is stranded, not trapped, not enabled (i.e. stranded).

For example, testing for availability can be done by checking for odd (=available) or even (=unavailable) number (e.g. mod(flag,2) results in 0 for unavailable and 1 for available).

*** "Actual FCAS availability" is determined in a post-processing step based on the energy target (TotalCleared) and bid FCAS trapezium for that interval. However, if the unit is outside the bid FCAS trapezium at the start of the interval (InitialMW), the "Actual FCAS availability" is set to zero. For regulation services, the trapezium is the most restrictive of the bid/SCADA trapezium values.
