# Introduction

**N3uron's** [](https://n3uron.com/iiot-platform-modules/caiso-ads/)[](https://n3uron.com/iiot-platform-modules/caiso-ads/)[CAISO ADS Client](https://n3uron.com/iiot-platform-modules/caiso-ads/)[](https://n3uron.com/iiot-platform-modules/caiso-ads/)[](https://n3uron.com/iiot-platform-modules/caiso-ads/) 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 PPC and SCADA system to automatically perform all changes required to meet [](http://www.caiso.com/Pages/documentsbygroup.aspx?GroupID=336A3FEF-FF9B-4ED5-910C-5535D62A3A55)[](http://www.caiso.com/Pages/documentsbygroup.aspx?GroupID=336A3FEF-FF9B-4ED5-910C-5535D62A3A55)[CAISO ADS](http://www.caiso.com/Pages/documentsbygroup.aspx?GroupID=336A3FEF-FF9B-4ED5-910C-5535D62A3A55)[](http://www.caiso.com/Pages/documentsbygroup.aspx?GroupID=336A3FEF-FF9B-4ED5-910C-5535D62A3A55)[](http://www.caiso.com/Pages/documentsbygroup.aspx?GroupID=336A3FEF-FF9B-4ED5-910C-5535D62A3A55) requests. [](http://www.caiso.com/Pages/documentsbygroup.aspx?GroupID=336A3FEF-FF9B-4ED5-910C-5535D62A3A55)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
