Attributes

Name Type Description
areaShortName String Market area short name, which is the regulation zone. It references AGC regulation zone name.
constantCoefficient Float Loss estimate constant coefficient
embeddedControlArea YesNo Used in conjunction with the InternalCA flag. If the InternalCA flag is YES, this flag does not apply. If the InternaCA flag is NO, this flag provides an indication of AdjacentCA (NO) or Embedded CA (YES).
internalCA YesNo A Yes/No indication that this control area is contained internal to the system.
linearCoefficient Float Loss estimate linear coefficient
localCA YesNo Indication that this control area is the local control area.
maxSelfSchedMW Float Maximum amount of self schedule MWs allowed for an embedded control area.
minSelfSchedMW Float Minimum amount of self schedule MW allowed for an embedded control area.
quadraticCoefficient Float Loss estimate quadratic coefficient
