ADaMS Dispatch Variance Notifications
Asset Request and Acknowledgement Form
The market participant,
(the “Participant”) hereby requests to receive dispatch variance
notification (“DVN”) messages regarding energy market dispatch levels (the “Information”) from
the Alberta Electric System Operator’s (“AESO”) automated dispatch and messaging system
(“ADaMS”) and its dispatch tool (the “Software”). In support of this request the market
participant provides the following information:

ADaMS Dispatch Variance Notifications Asset Configuration Information
The configuration information in the table below pertains specifically to the DVN functionality for
issuing warnings when asset generation levels appear to be moving away from the current
dispatch level (“dispatch variance warnings”). If these types of warnings are not desired, leave
the configuration below unspecified or set the value for ‘Dispatch Variance Detection’ to ‘Off’.
Dispatch Variance
Detection:
On

Should DVN messages be sent for this asset?
Ramping Notifications:
On
Off
Should DVN monitoring take place during the period
when an asset is ramping to a new dispatch level?
Ramping Lead Time:
minutes
After a new dispatch, allow this much time to pass
before beginning to monitor response (‘communication
time’).
MW Tolerance:
MW
Sets the Software to issue an ADaMS message when
the asset is outside of its dispatch level by the specified
MW Tolerance for the specified time tolerance.
Level Time Tolerance:
minutes
Sets the Software to issue an ADaMS message when
the asset is generating above/below its dispatch level
by more than the specified MW Tolerance for a period
longer than the specified Level Time Tolerance (and
the unit is not expected to be ramping).
Ramping Time Tolerance:
minutes
Sets the Software to issue an ADaMS message when
the asset is ramping more slowly than expected to a
new dispatch level. If the generation is more than MW
Tolerance above/below the expected level for a period
exceeding Ramping Time Tolerance, a message is
issued.
ADaMS Advance Dispatch Warning Information:
The configuration information in the table below pertains to the DVN functionality for generating
warning messages when an Advance Dispatch has become effective. If these types of warnings
are not desired then leave this configuration unspecified or set the value for ‘Advance Dispatch
Notification’ to ‘Off’.

Should Advance Dispatch Warning messages be sent

Indicate for which types of dispatches, advance
dispatch warnings should be sent.

minutes
Warning messages will be sent when the advance
dispatch is sent at least this many minutes prior to the
effective time. Permitted values are whole numbers
between 1 and 10 where a setting of ‘10 minutes’ would
mean that a warning would be issued at the effective
time of the dispatch ONLY when the advance dispatch
was sent 10 minutes or more prior to the effective time.
A value of ‘1 minute’ would cause a warrning to be
generated for all advance dispatches.
