Abstract:

A method for operating a combined-cycle electrical power grid system including the steps of: accepting, from a plurality of combined cycle power generation participants, combined cycle offers for a set of valid combined cycle configurations, each combined cycle configuration in the set including identification of power generator type(s) for the configuration and the offers including at least three levels of parameter information pertaining for the valid combined cycle configurations, the three levels of parameter information including, (a) resource level parameters that describe transition information between the valid combined cycle configurations, (b) configuration level parameters that describe operating parameters for each valid combined cycle configuration in the set; and (c) component level parameters that describe operating parameters for specific power generator components included in one or more of the valid combined cycle configurations; selecting commitments from the combined cycle offers based upon, at least in part, the resource level parameters, the configuration level parameters and the component level parameters; and controlling dispatch of electricity on the electrical power grid based upon the commitments.
