WEM Procedure: Dispatch Algorithm Formulation - Approved for distribution and use by:

The purpose of this Procedure is to document: (a) the Dispatch Algorithm used by AEMO for the purpose of the Central Dispatch Process and setting Market Clearing Prices and the mathematical formulation of the Dispatch Algorithm, including [clause 7.2.5(a)]: (i) the calculation of the required quantity of Contingency Reserve Raise [clause 7.2.5(a)(iii)]; In a form that: (ii) sets out the form, scop. [...] Where a Fast Start Facility’s Fast Start Facility Flag as per paragraph 2.2.36 was set to false for the first Dispatch Interval of the Dispatch Schedule immediately prior to the current Dispatch Schedule, and for the first Dispatch Interval of the current Dispatch Schedule, the Fast Start Facility’s Fast Start Facility Flag is set to true; (a) where the Fast Start Facility’s Initial MW value as pe. [...] Where a Fast Start Facility’s Fast Start Facility Flag was set to true for the first Dispatch Interval of the Dispatch Schedule immediately prior to the current Dispatch Schedule, and for the first Dispatch Interval of the current Dispatch Schedule, as per paragraph 2.2.36, the Fast Start Facility’s Fast Start Facility Flag is set to false: (a) where the Fast Start Facility’s Initial MW value as p. [...] Step 2: In the solution to the optimisation problem in Step 1: (a) If any Active Fast Start Facility has a Fast Start Target Mode of 5, and the Tranche Sum variable for energy for the Active Fast Start Facility is less than the Fast Start Threshold variable, change the Fast Start Current Mode to 0 and reset the Fast Start Current Mode Time to 0; (b) For any Active Fast Start Facilities with a Fast. [...] Step 2: In the solution to the optimisation problem in Step 1: (a) If any Active Fast Start Facility has a Fast Start Target Mode of 5, and the Tranche Sum variable for energy for the Active Fast Start Facility is less than the Fast Start Threshold variable, change the Fast Start Current Mode to 0 and reset the Fast Start Current Mode Time to 0; (b) For any Active Fast Start Facilities with a Fast.
