Responsible for approving the five-minute dispatch solution to provide set points to over 1400 generators within MISO’s footprint while taking into consideration changes in load, wind output, and current balancing area ACE among other factors. Constantly monitor system conditions to ensure adequate resources are on-line to meet demand and provide for ancillary services. When necessary, determine the need for additional generation and select units based on economic offers and real-time constraints on the transmission system.
