  "description": "A daily proxy benchmark for feasibility-aware battery dispatch under ERCOT Real-Time Co-optimization Plus Batteries (RTC+B). Contains a 304-day daily panel (June 2025 through March 2026) with locational marginal price (LMP), market clearing price for capacity (MCPC) for seven ancillary-service products, weather features, and calendar features. Observed five-minute MCPC covers 7 in-window days; the remaining 297 days use a frozen folded-normal generator calibrated from a 14-day public sample, marked by an mcpc_is_real flag. Includes a Gymnasium-compatible environment, rule-based, MPC, planning, PPO and SAC baselines, and a chronological hold-out protocol with hourly evaluation track.",
