PREDISPATCHLOAD

Comment

PREDISPATCHLOAD shows pre-dispatch targets for each dispatchable unit, including additional fields to handle the Ancillary Services functionality. No record is written where a unit is not dispatched. PREDISPATCHLOAD shows all the results for each period.


Description

Source

Own (confidential) data updates every thirty minutes, with whole market data for the day before available as part of next day market data.

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.

1

001

Not stranded, not trapped, is enabled.

3

011

Not stranded, is trapped, is enabled.

4

100

Is stranded, not trapped, not enabled.

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.

PREDISPATCHSEQNO

VARCHAR2(20)

 

Unique identifier of predispatch run in the form YYYYMMDDPP with 01 at 04:30

RUNNO

NUMBER(3,0)

 

SPD Predispatch run no, typically 1. It increments if the case is re-run.

DUID

VARCHAR2(10)

X

Dispatchable unit identifier for fast start

TRADETYPE

NUMBER(2,0)

 

Not used

PERIODID

VARCHAR2(20)

 

PERIODID is just a period count, starting from 1 for each predispatch run. Use DATETIME to determine half hour period.

INTERVENTION

NUMBER(2,0)

 

Flag to indicate if this result set was sourced from the pricing run (INTERVENTION=0) or the physical run (INTERVENTION=1). In the event that there is not intervention in the market, both pricing and physical runs correspond to INTERVENTION=0

TOTALCLEARED

NUMBER(15,5)
