Electric grid dispatch plans

Identifies substantive electric-grid generation dispatch, unit-commitment, and power-system dispatch plans. Topic phrases are retained for discovery; enforcement requires populated generation, reserve, energy, or reactive-power quantities, and high confidence also requires current interval, generating unit, constraint, interconnector, or grid-operator detail.

Confidence

medium

Confidence justification

Medium confidence requires populated dispatch quantities rather than general market commentary. High confidence adds a current interval, named unit, constraint, interconnector, or operator reference.

Should match

• electric grid dispatch plan — Low-tier probe - dispatch topic without populated quantities
• Generation dispatch schedule: unit commitment 420 MW and reserve requirement 35 MW — Medium-tier probe - populated quantities without current unit or interval detail
• Current generation dispatch schedule for generating unit GT-04, dispatch interval 14:05, constraint ID QNI-17: target 420 MW and reserve 35 MW — High-tier probe - populated quantities with current unit, interval, and constraint detail

Should not match

• unrelated generic text — No relevant phrase context
• placeholder value 12345 — Random text should not match phrase marker
• The annual report discusses electricity generation investment and market trends. — Public commentary without a dispatch plan or populated schedule
• Training example: current generation dispatch schedule for unit GT-04 at 420 MW, interval 14:05 — Explicit training content must not enforce

Known false positives

• Public market reports and grid-planning material can discuss generation dispatch, unit commitment, reserves, and MW quantities. Mitigation: Recommend the 85 tier, which additionally requires current interval, generating-unit, constraint, interconnector, or operator detail.
• Training simulations can include realistic unit IDs, intervals, constraints, and dispatch quantities. Mitigation: Reject explicit template, demo, tutorial, sample-data, and training-example framing from enforcing tiers.
