The Generation Simulator is licensed annually based on the number of Delivery Points required. The license starts at $2740.00 per year for one delivery point, but is discounted rapidly as more delivery points are required. For example, a 90% marginal discount is applied beyond 50 delivery points.
There are over 250 individual Delivery Points monitored and available to the Generation Market Simulator. The complete list of Delivery Points is available here.
The Dispatchable Load Simulator is also licensed annually based on the number of Delivery Points required. The license starts at $1795.00 per year to reflect the fact that its design is an approximation of the IESO DSO functionality (i.e. sequential optimization) and not as complex nor precise as the Generation Simulator (full joint optimization). If there is interest, the algorithm can be modified to use the more accurate calculations used in the Generation Simulator.
There are over 250 individual Delivery Points monitored and available to the Dispatchable Load Market Simulator. The complete list of Delivery Points is available here.
The Market Dashboard is licensed on either a monthly payment or annual payment basis. Licenses are sold in groups of accounts, which can be individually assigned to a company's employee or shared among a function (i.e. "Shift Operator", "Outage Desk"). Distributors are permitted to sub-license the Dashboard and provide or resell the accounts to their own customers. Sub-licensing requires a minimum 10-User account and each sub-licensee must be assigned at least 2-Users.
