-The Infeasibilities Panel appears in the Control panel whenever the Current Data Set contains an infeasibility.  The Panel contains a simple text string alerting you to the existence of an infeasibility. However, in Forecast/Powerflow Case Summary Mode the Panel will list all the periods in the summary date range in which an infeasibility occurs.  For further discussion on interpretation of the messages in the Infeasibilities Panel see the section on '''''[[EMO:Infeasibilities|Infeasibilities]]'''''.
