Dispatch
optimisation and constraint modeling in the Australian National
Electricity Market
The National Electricity Market Management Company (NEMMCO) is responsible
for managing and dispatching electricity for energy requirements
and ancillary services via a competitive auction process. Its core
functional process for Scheduling Pricing and Dispatch electrical
power is based on Linear Programming (LP). The limitations of the
LP approach include difficulties in co-optimising the energy market
and ancillary services, modeling physical constraints under assumptions
of linearity, and calculating the price when the constraints were
violated. This study investigates alternative non-linear optimisation
approaches with the current regional nodal model, as well as the
impact of alternative network design models, to help the industry
utilise resources efficiently.
