Dear Ray, Thank you very much for your help. The problem caused by the fact, that the physical ramp limits in the gen matrix (RAMP_10, RAMP_30 …) were set to zero. Kind regards, Maurus > On 20 Sep 2016, at 20:53, Ray Zimmerman wrote: > > Well, it is possible that it is

Well, it is possible that it is simply the solution with least expected cost. If, for instance, other generators have large ramping or redispatch costs, it can be optimal to simply not use a generator that may fail in order to avoid redispatch costs. On the other hand, physical ramp limits

Modelling of generator contingencies with MOST

Dear all, I am currently trying to model generator contingencies in MOST. However, my problem is, that there is no variation of generator dispatch over all the modelled states. The generators with a contingency assigned have therefore zero dispatch in the base and contingency state.
