The expected increase in the penetration of renewables in the approaching decade urges the electricity market to introduce new products-in particular, flexible ramping products-to accommodate the renewables' variability and intermittency. A risk-limiting economic dispatch scheme provides the means to optimize the dispatch and provision of these products. In this paper, we adopt the extended loss-of-load probability as the definition of risk. We first assess how the new products distort the optimal economic dispatch by comparing to the case without such products. Specifically, using parametric analysis, we establish the relationship between the minimal generation cost and the two key parameters of the new products: the up- and down-flexible ramping requirements. Such relationship yields a novel routine to efficiently solve the non-convex risk-limiting economic dispatch problem. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results suggest that our approach may substantially reduce the cost for incorporating the new products. We believe our approach can assist the ISOs with utilizing the ramping capacities in the system at the minimal cost.
