Tick-based simulation with 2-second steps, smooth start/stop transitions, common alpha redistribution for base-load units, and a compact live layout where demand slider + graph + generator cards stay visible together.
Machine & model parameters
Simulation default startup time set to 30 seconds. Ramp-down rule: 5 percentage points per 2-second tick for stopping units.

Job 1 — Respond to demand
Ensure site demand is covered at each 2-second tick.
Job 2 — Redistribute & balance
Move isochronous and base-load pools smoothly toward the target dispatch.
Job 3 — Optimize configuration
Pick the best candidate configuration while minimizing start/stop and respecting OPEX.
