Description:	set of transmission buses in a zone
Detail:

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

The Zone class offers a flexible concept of a collection of Node objects. There are two 'types' of Zone:

• An Energy Zone is defined by populating the Zone Nodes collection.
• A Capacity Zone is defined by populating the Zone Capacity Nodes collection.

Each Zone object can be only one type.

Energy Zones and can be used to:

• Report outputs similar to the Region class but across any user-defined set of Nodes either higher or lower resolution than the regions
• Define Load input in a similar way to Region Load

Capacity Zones can be used to define capacity requirements for LT Plan.

Note that Zone is not a subset of Region so it is possible to define Zones that encompass areas spanning multiple regions.
