Matrix Grids

Matrix Grids are a special type of data grids used in the input and results pages of the Time Step Simulation tool. In these grids, the time dimension is assigned to the rows and the object fields (load MW, generator MW output, etc) are assigned to the columns. The column header corresponds to the ID of the object. The number of columns of the grid depends on the user options and simulation results:

Hourly Input Pages

In the case of input pages, the user has to specify hourly data for each object, e.g., load, generator, area. Thus the user adds each column to the grid explicitly.

Custom Result Pages

In the custom result pages, a column is created for each object whose results have been specified to be stored.

Constraint Pages

Since the constraints are determined at solution time, the columns appear only when constraints have been detected during the solution.
