Greetings,

Effective today, all of our “Beta” upgrades are now live, and the old versions have been removed from the website.

List of Changes

Forecast moved to Execution Tools
- The new forecast has many changes, and those will be identified in a separate post.
- Any bookmarks that referenced the old forecasts will fail; contact Bill or Garrett to have those remade.
APT – new software, this model is now run out of a C++ platform which provides for more complexity and faster run times. We are in the process of moving the ap to the Linux web server to further enhance the speed.
Sensitivity Tests
- The new forecast model is much faster; we can now conduct an accurate dispatch for each of our tests.
- The model performs 20 tests
  - 10 Temperature (-20, -15….+15, +20 degrees)
  - 10 Net Demand (-5000 MW, -4000 MW….+4000 MW, +5000 MW)
