The bottom line

About 50% of the work in Manage physical dispatch is information-shaped and increasingly AI-deliverable, with the rest a hybrid of judgment and hands-on work. The automation frontier runs straight through the middle of this role.

Why: With no seeded child occupations, this scalar is derived from the process name ('Manage physical dispatch') and industry context ('Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution'). Management and dispatch are coordination activities that rely heavily on control systems and software, but because they directly orchestrate physical assets, loads, and field crews, the work bridges the physical-digital divide, resulting in a band-center hybrid score.

Business-as-Code

Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.

Manage physical dispatch sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Manage physical dispatch inherits.

How the work flows

Trigger: Real-time demand fluctuations, grid stability alerts, or scheduled energy market instructions require immediate power supply adjustments.

  1. Monitor real-time load, frequency, and voltage across the grid
  2. Assess available generation capacity and scheduled market dispatch commitments
  3. Calculate required generation adjustments and ramping requirements
  4. Transmit physical dispatch signals and setpoints to generation units
  5. Verify generation unit response and compliance with dispatch instructions
  6. Document dispatch actions for regulatory compliance and market settlement

Outcome: Generation assets are successfully dispatched and ramped to balance supply with demand while maintaining transmission grid stability.
