Visibility

The degree to which information on Energy Resource characteristics and operational information is available to the Market/System Operator (MSO), Distribution System Operator (DSO), and other authorised third parties. Examples include real-time or near real-time information on:

  1. the Demand and Supply of each Energy Resource;
  2. the State of Charge for Energy Storage; and,
  3. the availability of Flexibility of response from each Energy Resource; and,
  4. The Voltage, Frequency and Power Flows experienced on major network elements.

All feedback will be reviewed and considered for inclusion in subsequent updates.

Please provide your suggestions to improve to this definition:
