Line outages (revisions)

Outages can be specified in the linjerevisjon.csv file.

Note
Reduced trade capacities can be given as positive or negative numbers, both being treated equally (as a capacity reduction) in the model.
In case the capacity reduction exceeds the initial capacity, the reduced capacity is set to 0 MW.
There is currently no check if the outage year corresponds with the simulated year
It is possible to combine the modeling of outages in LINJEREVISJON and KOMBSNITT. However, we do not recommend it, as this modeling is error-prone.
The first week of revision should be lower than the last week of revision.
The capacity outages specified in the linjerevisjon.csv file will impact the load flow and PTDF computations. Optionally, capacity outage modelled in KOMBSNITT.DAT will not directly impact the load flow and PTDF computations in Samnett. It will only limit the left- and right-hand side of the PTDF-constraints.

One needs to specify a valid line (from busbar – to busbar), but the impact of the outage on a monitored interconnection can be omitted.

Header description

Description of the outage parameters

Record format:

<Week out>, <Load period out>, <Week in>, <Load period>, <From busbar>, <To busbar>, <Capacity reduction from_to>, <Capacity reduction to_from>,

Example:

Week out, Load period out, Week in, Load period, From busbar, To busbar, Capacity reduction from_to, Capacity reduction to_from,

Outage parameters

Record format:

<Week out>; <Load period out>; <Week in>; <Load period>; <From busbar>; <To busbar>; <Capacity reduction from_to>; <Capacity reduction to_from>;<Area name interconnection end-point from>; <Area name interconnection end-point to>

Example:

Aggregate 4 areas for the computation of PTDFs. The areas to aggregate are area 1, 2, 3 and 4 and the aggregated area name is NO4.
