First Claim
1. A method for the management of a bulk electric power market, comprising:
- establishing a set of inter-related process streams relating to the bulk electric power market;
establishing a plurality of processes for each process stream contained in said set of inter-related process streams, at least one process of each process stream serving as an input to, or output from, at least one other process stream, each process comprising;
(i) at least one of manual or automated inputs;
(ii) at least one of manual or automated activities;
(iii) and outputs;
providing a diagrammatic process stream flow for each process stream;

Abstract
The present invention provides methods for managing a bulk electric power market. In an example embodiment of the invention, a set of inter-related process streams relating to the bulk electric power market are established. A plurality of processes for each process stream contained in the set of inter-related process streams is also established. At least one process of each process stream serves as an input to, or output from, at least one other process stream. Each process may comprise: (i) at least one of manual or automated inputs; (ii) at least one of manual or automated activities; (iii) and outputs. A diagrammatic process stream flow may be provided for each process stream. A diagrammatic process flow may be provided for each process in each process stream. Textual process descriptions may also be provided which correspond to each process flow.
