Time Step Simulation: Binding Elements Dialog

See Also

 

This dialog is called from the Results: Constraints Page of the Time Step Simulation dialog. Right-click on a time point record in any of the Results Summary, Binding Lines, Binding Interfaces, or Binding Contingencies tables, and select Show Binding Constraint Dialog from the local menu. The dialog shows the binding line and interface constraints determined by the OPF/SCOPF solution. The Time selector allows easy navigation through the list of time points.

The grid section of the dialog shows the following:

Type

Either line or interface flow

Constraint ID

Line or Interface ID

Contingency Name

Name of the contingency under which the constraint becomes binding.

MVA Marg. Cost.

Marginal cost of enforcing the constraint. For lines, the limit corresponds to the thermal (MVA) limit. For interfaces, it is given by a MW limit.
