Pool-dispatched Resources Clause Samples
The 'Pool-dispatched Resources' clause defines how certain energy resources are managed and scheduled through a centralized dispatch system, typically operated by an independent system operator or market administrator. This clause specifies which resources are subject to centralized dispatch, outlines the obligations of resource owners to follow dispatch instructions, and may detail the communication protocols or penalties for non-compliance. Its core function is to ensure efficient, reliable, and coordinated operation of the power grid by centralizing control over resource output, thereby maintaining system balance and preventing operational conflicts.
Pool-dispatched Resources. (a) The Office of the Interconnection shall implement the dispatch of energy from pool-scheduled resources with limited energy by direct request. In implementing mandatory or economic use of limited energy resources, the Office of the Interconnection shall use its best efforts to select the most economic hours of operation for limited energy resources, in order to make optimal use of such resources consistent with the dynamic load-following requirements of the PJM Control Area and the availability of other resources to the Office of the Interconnection.
(b) The Office of the Interconnection shall implement the dispatch of energy from other pool-dispatched resource increments, including generation increments from Capacity Resources the remaining increments of which are self-scheduled, by sending appropriate signals and instructions to the entity controlling such resources, in accordance with the PJM Manuals. Each Market Seller shall ensure that the entity controlling a pool-dispatched resource offered or made available by that Market Seller complies with the energy dispatch signals and instructions transmitted by the Office of the Interconnection.
