ISO New England first in nation to meet a deregulated market with Alstom Grid new Scheduling, Pricing And Dispatch System
ISO New England Situation
ISO New England is the nation's first Independent System Operator. They plan, manage, and operate New England's bulk electricity supply facilities and administer the region's wholesale bulk power market.
Because of deregulation of the utility industry in New England, ISO New England needed an energy management system (EMS) integrated to the Power Exchange that meets the needs of the new environment, in a relatively short period of time.
ALSTOM ESCA Solution
ALSTOM ESCA provided a newly developed, distributed platform fully integrated with the EMS. This platform, in addition to extensive changes to the EMS functionality, includes a bids clearing platform, based on ALSTOM ESCA's Scheduling, Pricing and Dispatch (SPD) system. ALSTOM ESCA also created a Web-based publishing system where different views of the market systems can be securely presented within different groups of the ISO. A bidding system was also created, allowing bids for the energy and ancillary markets to be submitted to the ISO. In addition to the online system, ALSTOM ESCA has developed a Markets Simulator, which can be used by the ISO, or market participants to study the effect of bids and other market parameters to the overall operation of the New England market and the Power System.
The Advantage to ISO New England: Fully-Integrated System in Record Time
Working together in a team relationship, ALSTOM ESCA and ISO New England were able to design and implement a system that fit ISO New England's needs within a eight month period. As the Market evolves, ISO New England is well positioned to adjust and fine tune their platform.
