NodalDiagContingencyFlow Output Table

The NodalDiagContingencyFlow output table reports diagnostic information related to the flows on transmission elements in SCOPF studies. It includes the flow on a branch or a corridor that would occur for each given contingency absent re-dispatch. This information can thus be used to identify contingency-driven overloads and more generally the significance of contingencies on the SCOPF solution.

This table will report information for the flows on transmission elements requested in the Transmission Diagnostic input table for records with Report Type = Contingency Flow or Contingency Monitored Flow. The information in this table is dependent on the nodal solution for the hour reported, and can change for every hour dispatched. The number of records output for each element in each requested time period will be a function of the number of report values requested (NVal Reported column) and the number of contingency elements in the study. The set of values reported will be ranked and reported by the level of induced flow.
