Hello Dear, 

Regarding the problem formulationin MOST program, I have these questions that I 
am confused about.


 
1- Difference between zonal reserveand contingency reserve : I understand that 
zonal reserve are some constantamount of reserve specified before the solution, 
but what is the definition of"zone" and how can I specify zones? and what is 
the difference betweenzone and area in bus data? And what is the difference 
between zonal reserve andcontingency reserve?


 
2- Contingency reserves: what ismeant by it? and how can this reserve amount be 
determined or calculated? is its value determined after MOST solution or 
pre-specified?


 
3-Difference between contingencyreserve limits and physical ramping limits?


 
4- Difference between loadfollowing ramping (wear & tear) and load following 
ramp reserves?


 
5-Active contract value"Pc": what does it mean? (Is this a contract between 
consumers andutility or what?)

and how its value be determined? (AfterMOST solution or the user specifies its 
value?) and what about the deviationsfrom it ? 

>From my reading on the manual andthe papers "Secure Planning and Operations of 
>Systems withStochastic Sources, Energy Storage, and Active Demand" & 
>"StochasticallyOptimized, Carbon-Reducing Dispatch of Storage, Generation, 
>andLoads", I understand that we have 2 stages, stage 1 determines thecontract 
>value and stage 2 determines the deviations from this value as arecourse 
>action.


 
6- Details about the cost functionsCp(P), CR(r), Cδ(δ)….. : the form of the 
equations,is it a quadratic or what type? And the coefficient needed to specify 
them?


 
7-Confusion about the usage ofprobabilities in the objective functions:
ψα: probability of contingency used in cost of dispatch and redispatch 
functionf(p,p+,p-).(why it used in this cost function only?)


 
ϒ: probability of making it toperiod 't' (what does "it" refer to here?) and 
why this probabilityused in all objective functions except the cost of dispatch 
& redispatch f(p,p+,p-)?


 
8-When using the DC network modelinstead of nonlinear network network the 
problem is converted from MINLP toMIQP, How does this happen? (Why not 
converted to MILP problem?)


 
9- What does "Nodal energyprices" mean? and what is the difference between it 
and "shadowprices" and "marginal prices"?


 
10- I understand that MOST is usedto model transmission systems and one can add 
wind and storage sources, but ifI want to model a Microgrid, how can I use MOST 
to model it? And what aboutadding PV generation?


 
11- What meant by transmissioncongestion and its effect on nodal energy prices, 
storage, and min up&downtimes?


 
Sorry for elongation and waitingfor your appreciated answers
Thanks in advance
