VirtualParticipant

Package: PowerOperationsOpenAPIModels · Source: Operations/Market/VirtualParticipant.json

A virtual (convergence) market participant. Supply offers map to the operating cost’s incremental offer curves; demand bids map to decremental offer curves. Settles either at a settlement point or at associated trading hubs — the two are mutually exclusive; hub membership is carried as TradingHubAssociation rows rather than a list on this record, matching the trading hub’s own membership convention.
