Net Import Zones Column
Column Type = Text
The optional Net Import Zones column is used when Constraint Type = Emission, Emission Rate, or Link Flow Min/Max.
Emissions
Use this column to input a comma-delimited list of Zone IDs for which Aurora will account for the emissions on net imports based upon the Net Import Emission Rate when the net import is positive for a given hour. This column is used together with the Net Import Emission Rate column to specify an emission rate on the net imports for the region that constitutes the set of zones. If the net imports are negative then no emission rate will be applied. The total contribution of the net imports to the observed emissions for the constraint are reported in the Chrono_Link_Contribution column of the Constraint_Summary output table.
Transmission
Use this column to input a comma-delimited list of Zone IDs for which Aurora will apply transmission limits between the set of zones. When used for transmission, the Net Import Emission Rate column is not used.
