simulation_objects.csv
This file is used to enter data about the data set as a whole. Each row specifies a global parameter with two values, one that applies to forecasts and another that applies to real-time data (actuals). The file has three columns:
Column Name |
Description |
|---|---|
Simulation_Parameters |
Which global parameter is set by this row |
DAY_AHEAD |
The row’s value for forecast data and/or RUC plans |
REAL_TIME |
The row’s value as it applies to real-time data and/or SCED operations |
The following values of Simulation_Parameter are supported:

Reserve_Products Details
Some categories of reserve products may apply to RUC formulations, while others may apply to SCED formulations. This row allows you to configure which reserve product categories apply to each formulation type. Reserve product categories listed in the DAY_AHEAD column impose their requirements on RUC formulations, and reserve product categories listed in the REAL_TIME column impose their requirements on SCED formulations.
Specify applicable reserve product categories as a comma-separated list. Only listed reserve product categories will be imposed on corresponding formulations. Supported reserve products are Spin_Up, Reg_Up, Reg_Down, Flex_Up, and Flex_Down.
This row is optional. If you leave the row out, all reserve categories apply to both RUCs and SCEDs.
