A method for operating an electrical power grid system is provided. The electrical power grid system includes an electrical power grid, a plurality of power generation participants providing electrical power to the electrical power grid, and a plurality of consumers drawing electrical power from the electrical power grid, where at least a portion of the power generation participants include fast-ramping power generation resources and at least a portion of the power generation participants include slow-ramping power generation resources. The method involves controlling dispatch of electricity on the electrical power grid including enabling fast-ramping resources.

Automatic generation control enhancement for fast-ramping resources

The present disclosure pertains to a system that may be configured to operate a power grid, including generation participants, consumers, and electric storage resources (ESRs), by: managing, via the generation participants, a state of charge (SOC) for the ESRs, an operational constraint, minimum and maximum offer parameters, minimum and maximum SOCs, and transition times between charging and discharging, the parameters including charge or discharge time and charge or discharge limits; treating different online modes as a must run commitment status, the modes including discharging, charging, and continuous; and committing an ESR offering an emergency discharge commitment status or an emergency charge commitment status to address a maximum generation emergency condition or a minimum generation emergency condition, respectively.
