1. A method of controlling an energy delivery system having a windfarm including a plurality of wind powered electric generators, and further having a plurality of non-wind powered electric generators, the method comprising:

  • providing an energy management system (EMS) communicatively coupled to the plurality of non-wind powered electric generators and the plurality of wind powered electric generators, the EMS including a wind power management (WPM) system, the WPM system including a WPM application that includes a security constrained dynamic dispatch (SCDD) application;

    receiving input data within the SCDD application, the input data including real time telemetry, schedule input data, and critical constraint data;

    validating the input data for consistency to avoid infeasibilities, and to produce validated input data;

    pre-processing the validated input data to determine a first set of parameters including a total generation amount to be dispatched and additional parameters;

    formulating an optimization model based on the first set of parameters and one or more data structures storing the validated input data;

    executing an optimization process on the optimization model to compute a solution;

    post-processing the solution to determine economic basepoints for the windfarm and for the non-wind powered electric generators;

    producing a setpoint for the windfarm, such that an amount of power from the wind powered electric generators that is put into the energy delivery system is maximized within a set of security constraints of the energy delivery system;

    communicating the setpoint for the windfarm to a remote terminal unit at the windfarm;

    operating the plurality of wind powered electric generators of the windfarm to generate power in accordance with the setpoint communicated to the remote terminal unit at the windfarm; and

    transmitting the amount of power from the wind powered electric generators via the energy delivery system.
