About UPLAN
The UPLAN Advanced Clearing Engine (UPLAN-ACE) projects day-ahead market operation using procedure adopted by operators and real-time economic dispatch based on 5-minute intervals for every hour of operation. UPLAN-ACE integrates both day-ahead and real-time generation offers and demand bids. ACE co-optimizes energy and ancillary services to provide hourly day-ahead operation and 5-minute dispatch in the real time. A novel feature of UPLAN-ACE is its capability to simulate the renewable and the intermittent nature of new technologies such as batteries, fly-wheels and other fast response technologies. The Real-Time Model (RTM) simulates the hour ahead scheduling process and real-time dispatch every 5 minutes. It utilizes the commitment schedule of DAM, forecasts real-time loads, and performs dispatch on a 5 minute basis including optimal power flow. RTM produces LMPs, imbalance schedule, and revised dispatch.
