EMO:Powerflow Case Components

Definition

A Powerflow Case Component is all or part of a Powerflow Case Definition stored separately as an .xml file. Components are created by exporting all or selected parts of a Powerflow Case Definition to the Component Library.

Purpose

Components can be directly imported into new Case Definitions at any time. Components can also be made available to other users of EMarketOffer and incorporated into their Case Definitions.

Component Classes

Class	Type	Source	Description
Circuits	Transmission System (Static with periodic changes)	EMS/COMIT text-based files or online database	Contains static Circuit and dynamic re-rating details that influence dispatch
Equations	Transmission System (periodic changes)	Grid data files or online database	Contains dynamic Equation Constraint applications and re-ratings
Nodes	Market (Dynamic time series)	EMS	Nodal demand data
Units	Market (Dynamic time series)	COMIT	Generation

NOTE: It is possible to create data for any of these classes yourself without using the listed data sources.

A Powerflow Case Component can contain data from any one of three levels:

1. The whole Definition
2. A whole class (e.g. Demand for all Nodes)
3. Individual items within a class (e.g. selected Circuits within the circuit class)
