Dynamic Data Charts

Charts Included In This Section:

The following charts are included within this section:

• BM Unit Dynamic Profiles - shows two cycles each featuring a shortest possible run at the given unit.
• Dynamic Data Changes - shows the changes in dynamic parameters at units in the market.
• Ramp Elbows - compares the different ramp elbows for a group of units in the market.
• Ramp Rates - compares the different ramp rates for a group of units in the market.

What Is The Dynamic Data?

Units submit data to National Grid that details their performance capabilities, ie their speed of ramp up from zero and their response times.

This data dictates which units can respond to an event, but perhaps more importantly dictates which units National Grid must strategically call in advance in order to ensure that they are able to participate in the market at a later point in time and which units can simply be used as needed during an event.
