Organising DSP data in DSP Groups

The DSPIP Demand Side Participation Information Portal uses the concept of a DSP Demand Side Participation Group to simplify the DSP submission process. A DSP group usually contains one of the following:

• A list of NMIs for a particular program or connection under one of the Section 1 data categories:
  • Market-exposed connections.
  • Connections on retail time-of-use tariffs.
  • Connections on network event tariffs.
  • Connections with Network-controlled load.

For more information, refer to the Appendix A of the Demand The amount of power consumed at any time Side Participation Information Guidelines.

• Data for large programs or connections under the Section 2 data category where required by the guidelines.

Any number of DSP Groups can be created for a DSP submission. Two examples are provided below.

Example 1

The following example illustrates four DSP Groups created for a submission with different data categories and associated Section 2 data.

Example 2

This example illustrates two DSP Groups, both with the same data category.
