This document provides an overview of how Day-Ahead (DA) and Real-Time (RT) demand interact in energy markets. It highlights that all DA units are dispatched according to awards, but may not have incentives to operate in RT. Notably, additional units may be dispatched in RT under various conditions, potentially incurring extra operating reserve costs. Key points include the relationship between DA and RT demand, energy buy-backs, and the operational costs tied to reserve requirements.
