@tupperward As I understand it, an algorithm to optimize pricing taking into account the cost of the resource, the cost of getting it onto the grid, how fast it can deliver, and probably a couple of other factors. i.e., if a cheaper generator is constrained by grid connectivity it might not be the right thing to choose.
