Displays OPF specific information about each super area record in the case. To show this display select Optimal Power Flow > Results > Super Areas in the Model Explorer. The OPF Super Area Records Display is a class of Case Information Display and therefore can be used in a manner consistent with the other case information displays. Specific formatting options are available from the local menu, which can be accessed by right-clicking on any field in the display.
By default the display contains the following fields:
Super Area
Alpha-numeric identifier of the super area.
AGC Status
Super area's automatic generation control status. This is the same field shown on the Super Area Records display. The field indicates whether or not the super area's generation is changing automatically to control the super area's interchange.
The super area AGC Status field always overrides the AGC Status for the individual areas, except when it is set to "Off AGC".
To be included in the OPF this field MUST be "OPF". In that case the generation costs for all the areas in the super area are included in the OPF objective function. Otherwise they are only included if the super area AGC Status is "Off AGC" and their particular area's AGC Status is on "OPF". Double-click on the field to toggle its value.
Num Areas
Number of areas in the super area. To see the individual areas use the local menu to view the Super Area dialog.
Include Marg. Losses
Specifies whether or not to include marginal losses in OPF calculations for this super area.
MW Marg. Cost Ave.
If the super area is on "OPF" control then for a solved case this field shows the average of the bus MW marginal costs for all the buses in the super area. If there is no congestion then all of the marginal costs should be equal.
MW Marg. Cost St. Dev.
Standard deviation of the bus MW marginal costs for the buses in the super area.
ACE MW
Area control error for the super area.
Gen MW, Load MW
Total real power generation and load in the super area.
Total Sched MW, Int MW
Scheduled and actual interchange real power interchange between the super area and the rest of the system. Both of these fields are the algebraic summation of the scheduled and actual interchange for the areas in the super area.
Loss MW
Total real power losses for the super area.
MW Marg. Cost Min, MW Marg. Cost Max
Minimum and maximum of all the bus MW marginal costs for the buses in the super area.
