Tony,
The ISO’s use “curves”
that are a series of time slices e.g. 24 one hour slices. The extra
complexity is that each time slice has a bid/offer curve associated with it
that is a series of MW slices with an associated $/MWH cost. The IRC
submitted data requirements provide some extra information. I’ll
see if I can find some plain language explanations from CAISO.

Several of the Jira comments for EMIX mention Price Curves,
particularly in the ISO markets. I had been led to believe that Price Curves
were expressed as a series of time slices, to approximate a curve, and not as
literal curves. Now the comments make me think I have misheard….
If the ISOs use actual curves, can someone point me to them?
If instead they are a series of time slices, then the WS-Calendar Partition
structure should handle them.
