what is the significance of 'area' and 'zone' in caseformat in matpower? where can these be used? i am trying to determine the optimal 24 hour switching schedule for 4 feeder capacitors in a distribution system using forecasted hourly daily load profile to minimise daily energy loss. Should the area number be different for all the buses in the network and what about zone number?
