Introduction

N3uron's CAISO ADS Client enables automatic awareness and acceptance of Automated Dispatch System (ADS) requests. The ADS was developed by the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) regulatory committee for communicating real-time dispatch instructions to the power generation resources that take part in the real-time energy market in California.

N3uron seamlessly integrates with any local SCADA system to automatically perform all changes required to meet CAISO ADS requests. In order to eliminate the possibility of operator error, this integration is implemented via the other modules that make up the N3uron IIoT platform (e.g. OPC UA, MQTT, Sparkplug, Modbus, DNP, etc), which allow for automatic coordination of adjustments across all plant devices such as inverters, capacitors, batteries, etc, to meet ADS instructions.

The CAISO ADS Client supports the latest ADS API version and the following Batch Types:

• 0: 5 minute dispatchable
• 3: Ancillary Service (AS) awards
• 10: 5 minute Flex Ramp Award
• 12: Unannounced Ancillary Service (AS) Test
