Title: Energy management system turns data into market info

Journal Article · · Electrical World
OSTI ID:405316

The designers claim that Wisconsin Power & Light Co`s new energy management system is the first system of its type in the world in terms of the comprehensiveness and scope of its stored and retrievable data. Furthermore, the system`s link to the utility`s generating assets enables powerplant management to dispatch generation resources based on up-to-date unit characteristics. That means that the new system gives WP&L a competitive tool to optimize operations as well as fine-tune its EMS based on timely load and unit response information. Additionally, the EMS gives WP&L insight into the complex issues related to the unbundling of generation resources.
