A clear definition and delineation of responsibilities are necessary to ensure the reliable operation of • the grid, especially with the Market Operator (MO) and the System Operator (SO) being two separate entities.As a result, the WESM Manual on the Dispatch Protocol was formulated after rigorous discussions • between MO and SO.The Dispatch Protocol •

Clearly establishes the WESM Timetable for the execution of specific processes (WESM Rules 3.4.2 ○and 10.4.8.1)

Establish scheduling and dispatch procedures to be followed in ○Normal Conditions -Emergency Conditions -

that should be consistent with the WESM Timetable and features of the MMS

Forecasting is a process of predicting market condition using historical data. In the WESM, we predict the energy to be consumed in a certain area for a specific trading interval incorporating historical data, real time grid system status, weather condition and events.This process is known as Load Forecasting. The provision of load demand is necessary for the calculation of market prices and dispatch schedules. It is an integral requirement of the market dispatch optimization model. The WESM Rules provide the calculation of market projections and real-time schedules which require accurate load demand forecast information. The load forecasting in the market has three time frames; namely hour-ahead, day-ahead and week-ahead forecasting.

hour-Ahead forecast

The process of forecasting the load energy demand for next top of the hour. It is conducted every hour and uses the latest real time grid system status, weather condition and events. The Ex-ante (Real-Time Dispatch or RTD) utilizes this forecast.

day-Ahead forecast

The process of forecasting the load energy demand for the next day and is being updated every four hours to accurately reflect the near real time load energy demand. The Day-Ahead Projection (DAP) utilizes this forecast.

Week-Ahead forecast

The process of forecasting the load energy demand for the next seven days. It is being updated daily. The forecast output is an indicative figure for Market Participant bidding strategy and generator maintenance scheduling. The Week-Ahead Projection (WAP) utilizes this forecast.

1111

Week-Ahead and day-Ahead demand forecasts

Hourly Demand Forecasts for each Forecast Area from the current day to the next seven days shall be • determined by the Market Operator using the Similar Day Load Forecast (SDLF) module of the Market Management System (MMS).

The Demand Forecasts obtained in the week ahead forecast shall be used as Input Demand Forecasts • to obtain the WAP and the DAP.

The summation of the Net Load Forecast plus the losses computed for a Forecast Area after the • optimization process in the relevant market run (i.e. WAP or DAP) constitutes the Final Demand Forecast for that Forecast Area.

hour-Ahead forecasts

Demand Forecasts for the next hour in each Forecast Area shall be determined by the Market Operator • using the Load Predictor (LDP) module of the Market Management System.

The Demand Forecasts obtained in the hour-ahead forecast shall be used as Input Demand Forecasts to • obtain the Real-Time Dispatch (RTD).

The summation of the Net Load Forecast plus the losses computed for a Forecast Area after the • optimization process in the relevant RTD run constitutes the Final Demand Forecast for that Forecasted Area.

Marginal Plants

The Marginal Plant (MP) data presents information on the hourly Marginal Plants and their corresponding price offers in the market.

The MP is the generating unit or plant whose price offer corresponds to the system marginal price for a given trading interval.

In an unconstrained system, the market price is set by one MP (i.e., the system marginal price). This price is adjusted for each node to consider transmission losses and/or congestion costs to come up with a resulting value called the Locational Marginal Price (LMP).

Where the system is constrained, the relevant flows of electricity are affected as the line limitations arising from the congestion may impede the supply of cheaper electricity from one area to another. In such cases, there may be more than one MP setting the marginal price for the different nodes on either side of the constraint.

Scheduling and Dispatch upon Establishment of WESM Operations

WESM was established as the central trading platform for the scheduling, dispatch, and net settlement of • generating facilities and loads in grids with WESM operations.

The Market Operator (MO), System Operator (SO), and Trading Participants (TPs) are the three entities • involved in the scheduling and dispatch of generating facilities in WESM.

The SO is responsible for the dispatch of generating units at real-time.•

The MO has the responsibility of forecasting demand and the scheduling of generators and loads • based on hourly generation offers and demand bids through a Security-Constrained Economic Dispatch (SCED).

The SCED of generators and loads are obtained using WESM’s MDOM, which utilizes the MNM ○maintained by the MO. As such, pricing and scheduling calculations are able to consider transmission losses and constraints.

TPs are responsible for the following:•

Submission of generation offers and/or demand bids. ○Comply with the dispatch instructions. ○
