Abstract :
Effective in 2009, the California ISO launched a new market structure that combines advanced unit commitment and dispatch processes with recognition of physical characteristics of the transmission system and generation resources. California´s upcoming implementation of aggressive targets for renewable energy will result in new, profound changes in markets and system operations. The CAISO is responding by making additional improvements in its unit commitment processes.
