Region Class

Description:	transmission region/area
Detail:

See also Region Property Reference for a detailed list of properties for this class of object.

Regions represent transmission 'areas'. A Region may contain one or more Nodes (transmission buses) and can define the Load input to be distributed to the nodes according to their Load Participation Factor.

Regions can define different market rules through settings such as Load Settlement Model and Uplift Compatibility.

Regions provide a wealth of reported outputs including the supply-demand balance with properties like Load, Generation and Net Interchange as well as details of financial settlements e.g. Generator Pool Revenue, Cost to Load, and Settlement Surplus.

Note that the Zone class provides an additional method for grouping nodes. There is no set hierarchy between Region and Zone so you may have Zones inside Regions or vice versa, or Zones that cross several Regions as desired.
