Configuration Examples
Here are practical examples of how to configure the CSV fields for common event scenarios:
- Example 1: Unit Outage
- Example 2: Solar Capacity
- Example 3: Link Constraint
Unit Outage
To simulate a generator outage, set the Property to %MwCap and the Capacity to 0. This reduces the unit's available capacity to zero during the specified period.
| EID | Type | DUID | StartTime | EndTime | Property | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 05TPC_G0 | SUnit | 05TPC_G0 | 11/25/2025 02:50 | 11/25/2025 05:25 | %MwCap | 0 |
Modifying Solar Capacity
To uniformly scale the capacity of every Solar Site, use Type = Sites and specify SOLAR as the DUID. Dashboard applies this Event to every Site whose Group classification is SOLAR.
| EID | Type | DUID | StartTime | EndTime | Property | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ev8018 | Sites | SOLAR | 01/01/1980 00:00 | 01/01/2050 00:00 | %MwCap | 300 |
Link Constraint
To restrict transmission flow across the MINVIS1 interconnection, set both FrLimit and ToLimit. This limits transmission flow in both directions to 10 MW.
| EID | Type | DUID | StartTime | EndTime | Property | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MINVIS1 | Link | MINVIS1 | 01/01/1980 00:00 | 12/03/2025 00:00 | FrLimit | 10 |
| MINVIS1 | Link | MINVIS1 | 01/01/1980 00:00 | 12/03/2025 00:00 | ToLimit | 10 |
