Loading NERC Flowgates

This command reads flowgates from an Excel file and inserts them as interface records. The format for this file should be similar to the files found at http://www.nerc.com/~oc/dfwg.html. To access this file you must have a NERC-supplied username and password. At the time of writing we have not seen an official description of the format -- currently Simulator just mimics the format found in this file. Flowgates are used by NERC (under Policy 9) as proxies for transmission limitations and transmission service usage on the interconnected electric power network. Simulator models flowgates using the interface records. Interface records MAY include contingency elements.

The Load NERC Book of Flowgates from Excel option is available from the local menu of the Interface Records display.
