Generating companies in an energy/ancillary service market have the option to provide ancillary services (particularly load following, regulation, and contingency reserve), gaining ancillary service revenue and incurring some costs. These costs have many drivers, from the wear and tear on the units caused by following regulation signals, to penalties for quality of response, to energy opportunity cost. The ASOC Analyzer software was created to estimate how much ancillary services really cost and how well the market compensates their provision. The package helps analyze, pinpoint, and describe the drivers of such costs.
The RSC package calculates a number of regulation-related KPIs, including an estimate of overall delay in response, to enable detection of defects and errors in power plant control response.
