Integ Enterprise Consulting, Inc. announces the launch of PowerGADS for Midwest ISO

Midwest ISO is launching PowerGADS as the primary GADS solution for market participants.  Midwest ISO will utilize the PowerGADS system to measure generator performance and reliability of generator units for each market participant.  The gathered data will be validated, analyzed, and submitted to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) using standard “card” formats.

The PowerGADS solution will allow Midwest ISO to collect and analyze statistical event and generation data and validate this data using NERC and Midwest ISO specific validation in an efficient and timely manner. The system will be able to handle hundreds of users and will provide online reporting and analysis for market participants, including key metrics such as EFORd. The collected data is critical to understanding the reliability of each unit as well as any collective group of units. The PowerGADS solution is also integrated into Midwest ISO’s market participant portal and members will be able to login using the current portal.

PowerGADS is the most comprehensive enterprise solution available to integrate and manage the generator performance and reliability process.  PowerGADS integrates between the ISO member companies and the ISO, transforming the process into an efficient and auditable data flow.  PowerGADS also reduces redundant data entry by emphasizing a single point of entry and distributes the information to other systems that require the data.

Features of PowerGADS:

	Tracking and analysis of outage events, fuel performance and unit generation
	Level 1 and Level2 error checking for GADS data
	Submission of GADS data to NERC and ISO
	Unit capacity verification testing
	Economic impact analysis of outage events
	Reporting of key NERC metrics, including EFORd and Heat Rate.
	Integration with real-time outage systems
