I was just browsing through the same book, but I couldn't find the exact definition, only references to the term.
The link you posted is pretty good.
Gen Stack is the price a unit would be in the money. Very high level def but easy to understand.
If you have a $90 market you may have hydro, coal, gas and oil running. In a $30 market maybe only nat gas meaning its cheaper for you to buy from the market to fill your load then turn on a unit

A generation stack is a supply curve.
