Thanks @trader-short - We have lifted the definition from our glossary https://www.bmreports.com/bmrs/?q=help/glossary
We will reproduce this and amend the definition as required.
Thanks for highlighting this to us
Hi @trader-short - thanks for flagging this! We've updated the documentation to reflect the amended definition.
Thank you @jackiewoodburn-sw. The definition has been updated on the /datasets/IMBALNGC but on the /datasets/IMBALNGC/stream endpoint, the change is not revised yet. I've attached screenshots for both endpoints below
Instead of National Demand Forecast, it should be Transmission System Demand Forecast
Describe the issue
Indicated Imbalance for a settlement period is defined as the difference between Indicated Generation(INDGEN) and National Demand Forecast(NDF) in the Insights API documentation. But the values returned are not consistent with this definition. Say for settlement period 16 today(25-05-2023), the Indicated Imbalance value returned is 812MW. INDGEN and NDF values for SP16 are 27571MW and 25428MW respectively, thus difference and apparently Indicated Imbalance will be 2143MW. The 812MW value returned matches the difference between INDGEN(27571MW) and TSDF(26759MW), which also how Indicated Imbalance is defined in the Grid Code (BC1.A.2.2). I've attached the required screenshots.
Steps to Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behaviour
If the definition in the Insights API documentation is corrected, Indicated Imbalance value returned should be 2143MW for SP16
Observed behaviour
Actual value returned for IMBALNGC (812MW) is difference between INDGEN and TSDF
