MISO retrieves and directs the real time Resource Operating Mode via two Control Modes.
1) CTLM – Control mode coming from the resource (Retrieval). CTLM provides Resource status communication to MISO. Resources must change the Control Mode to match operating capabilities.
2) UMOD – Control mode the Unit Dispatch System (UDS) sends to the resource (Directive). UMOD communicates the UDS desired operating mode to the Resource.
Operating Modes:
0 = Offline
(indicates Resource is NOT available to the market)
1 = Online, NOT capable of regulating
(indicates Resource is available for Energy and/or Contingency Reserve Target)
2 = Online, capable of Regulating
(indicates Resource is available for Regulating Reserve Deployment, as well as Energy and/or Contingency Reserve Dispatch Target)
3 = Off Control
(indicates Resource is online but not following dispatch)
