In this scenario, it is important that generators are despatched based on merit order, that is, from lower cost to higher cost, for the efficient utilisation of resources. However, this has been difficult to achieve in the current scenario, where distribution utilities (discoms) are mostly procuring their power through long-term contracts on a self-scheduling basis.
