10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Optimizing Generation Fleet Dispatch for Increasing Quantities of Renewables
Join us for an exciting look into emerging methodologies for improving day ahead unit commitment and economic dispatch. As utilities integrate growing quantities of variable renewable energy resources into their portfolios, the need for new approaches to manage that variability and uncertainty within day ahead scheduling processes is also increasing. In this webinar and discussion, experts from Fluence’s Digital Group will share insights into the power that nascent optimization techniques can have on reducing the resource gap between day ahead and real-time operations. In turn, these approaches can support more efficient integration of variable renewables and battery storage assets into dispatch schedules and reduce balancing and system costs.
Opportunities for system cost and emissions reductions from improved day ahead and intra-day scheduling
Value attendees will get from webinar:
• Gain a deeper understanding of the factors causing and impacts of suboptimal dispatch of generation fleets as more variable energy resources and battery storage enter the mix
• Learn about emerging methods for improving day ahead and intra-day unit commitment and economic dispatch
• Connect with experts to see how utility teams engaged in short-term resource planning can apply these methods to improve system costs, emissions, and reliability metrics
