As the Independent System Operator for Alberta, AESO operates the Alberta power market to facilitate the delivery of electricity from producers to customers in the way that is Fair, Efficient, Open, and Competitive (FEOC). AESO also plays the critical roles of Balancing Authority (BA) and Reliability Coordinator (RC) in operating the Alberta Interconnected Electric Systems (AIES). The presentation will briefly introduce the Grid and Market structures of Alberta, and talk about how AESO Operations are equipped to fulfill the BA and RC roles. The Market products and EMS tools that contribute to the supply and demand balance will be discussed, to explain how generation is dispatched and controlled to follow system load and respond to intermittent energy source like wind power. The on-line Network Applications in EMS will also be discussed, and how they are used at AESO for security assessment in real-time to maintain grid reliability will be explained.
