[Docket No. AD10–12–013] 

Increasing Market and Planning 

Efficiency Through Improved Software; 

Notice of Technical Conference: 

Increasing Real-Time and Day-Ahead 

Market and Planning Efficiency 

Through Improved Software 

Take notice that Commission staff 

will convene a technical conference on 

June 21, 22, and 23, 2022 to discuss 

opportunities for increasing real-time 

and day-ahead market efficiency of the 

bulk power system through improved 

software. A detailed agenda with the list 

of and times for the selected speakers 

will be published on the Commission’s 

website 1 and in eLibrary after May 20, 

2022. 

This conference will bring together 

and encourage discussion between 

experts from diverse backgrounds, 

including electric power system 

operators, software developers, and 

professionals from government, research 

centers, and academia. The conference 

will bring these experts together for the 

purposes of stimulating discussion, 

sharing information, and identifying 

fruitful avenues for research on 

improving software for increased 

efficiency and reliability of the bulk 

power system. 

This conference will build on 

discussions at prior conferences in this 

proceeding by focusing on topics 

identified as important to market 

efficiency in those conferences. Broadly, 

such topics fall into the following 

categories: 

(1) Software for better modeling and 

computation of storage resources and 

distributed energy resources (DERs), 

especially software that addresses 

challenges such resources pose to 

current market-clearing and dispatch 

algorithms. 

(2) Software advances to help with the 

transition to increased use of 

probabilistic models in system 

planning, whether scenario-based or 

stochastic, to better account lowprobability, high-impact events, such as 

extreme weather events, which are 

increasingly common. 

(3) Improvements to the ability to 

identify and use flexibility in the 

existing systems in ways that improve 

bulk power system reliability and 

economic efficiency, including 

transmission constraint relaxation 

practices, ramp management, and 

improving resources’ responsiveness to 

dispatch instructions. 

(4) Representations of uncertainty that 

increase market efficiency and lead to 

better understanding of events that 

could impact reliability of the bulk 

power system, including: 15-Minute 

unit-commitment and day-ahead market 

intervals; stochastic modeling; software 

for forecasting and enhancing visibility 

into changing system conditions; 

improved modeling approaches to 

energy and reserve dispatch; and 

software for managing uncertainties in 

variable energy resource output. 

(5) Software related to grid-enhancing 

technologies, such as those described in 

Docket Nos. AD19–19 2 and AD19–15,3

including optimal transmission 

switching, dynamic transmission line 

ratings, power flow controls, and any 

software related to implementing the 

Commission’s recent rulemaking 

regarding line ratings in Order No. 881.4

(6) Software for better modeling and 

computation of resources with distinct 

operating characteristics such as storage 

resources, multi-stage/multiconfiguration resources, hybrid 

resources, aggregations of DERs, and 

others. Presentations on this topic 

should focus on alternative formulations 

and solution methods for market 

models. 

(7) Improvements to the 

representation of physical constraints 

that are either not currently modeled or 

currently modeled using mathematical 

approximations, including voltage and 

reactive power constraints, stability 

constraints, fuel delivery constraints, 

and constraints related to contingencies. 

(8) Software that enables the 

calculation of prices that better reflect 

costs of operation and that provide 

better incentives for efficient market 

entry and market exit. 

(9) Other improvements in algorithms, 

model formulations, or hardware that 

may allow for increases in market 

efficiency and enhanced bulk power 

system reliability. 

Within these or related topics, we 

encourage presentations that discuss 

modeling best practices, existing 

modeling practices that need 

improvement, any modeling advances 

newly achieved, or perspectives on 

increasing market efficiency through 

improved power systems modeling. 

The conference will take place 

virtually via WebEx, with remote 

participation from both presenters and 

attendees. Further details on remote 

attendance and participation will be 

released prior to the conference. 

Attendees must register through the 

Commission’s website on or before June 

10, 2022.5 WebEx connections may not 

be available to those who do not 

register. 

Speaker nominations must be 

submitted on or before April 22, 2022 

through the Commission’s website 6 by 

providing the proposed speaker’s 

contact information along with a title, 

abstract, and list of contributing authors 

for the proposed presentation. Proposed 

presentations should be related to the 

topics discussed above. Speakers and 

presentations will be selected to ensure 

relevant topics and to accommodate 

time constraints. 

The Commission will accept 

comments following the conference, 

with a deadline of July 29, 2022.
