If a dispatchable pump is scheduled and cleared in the Day-Ahead Market, will that schedule be used for Real-Time operation?
Demand schedules for dispatchable loads are only used in the Day-Ahead Market for establishing a Day-Ahead financial commitment at that asset’s node. These schedules are not used in Real-Time operation. In order to ensure that a dispatchable load that is scheduled in the Day-Ahead Market will run, it must be Self-Scheduled in the Real-Time (Balancing) Market.
