Predispatch Optimiser

Features:

• Perfect foresight of electricity prices (no probabilistic modelling, yet)
• Single thermal unit portfolio (pick any DUID)
• Uncontracted (entirely merchant)
• Energy only market
• Heat rate sensitivities (ie. relationship between load and efficiency)
• Half-hourly dispatch
• Half-hourly revenue (ie. if generator is ramping, the output MW achieved for the beginning of the half-hour will feed into revenue calculation).
• Coming Soon: Price sensitivities (ie. a generator will suppress the price when supplying capacity)

User-defined parameters:

• Ramp rate up/down, minimum and maximum capacity constraints
• Fuel price ($/GJ)
• Operating and maintenance costs ($/MWh)
• Start Costs ($/start)

You may have to refresh your browser to get the prices to update.

Coming Soon: Auto-refresh of forecast prices.
