GTBD Forecasting Methodology • GTBD (Generation To Be Dispatched) is the sum of the Base Points dispatched in SCED • Typically, calculated by summing up the current actual generation from all the Generation Resources that are going to be dispatched by SCED • SCED LMPs are based on this amount of total power • A reasonable forecast of future GTBD can be calculated from: • System ramp rate sampled over the last fifteen minutes • Ramp rate may be positive or negative • Add: Real-Time SCED GTBD + (Ramp Rate*15) gives the “Forecasted GTBD”
Implementation in SCED HUB SUPER HUB HUB HUB • In addition to the existing SCED, execute the same SCED algorithm once at the top of each 15-Minute period, but using the Forecasted GTBD • Use same offer curves, Resource Limits and Status that were available to SCED for the actual dispatch of generation • Assume that the same transmission constraints that are active in real time SCED are also active in the Forecast SCED calculation • Provide via ICCP and post on MIS, the LPM’s generated for: • Resource Nodes • Hubs • Load Zones (LMPZ) HUB Generation Load
