SCOPF Example: Unenforceable Constraints
Using the same example as above, reduce the MVA rating of line 2 to 5 to 90 MVA. The initial base case LP OPF solution is the same as in the previous example. Consider the same contingency list. When the contingencies are solved using the initial OPF solution as the reference, seven contingency violations need to be removed. The CTG dialog after simulation is presented in the following figure.
CTG Dialog after SCOPF Solution
We note that the constraint from bus 2 to 5 under a contingency from 5 to 7 is unenforceable. There are not enough system controls to enforce the contingency constraint. A $ 1,000 / hr cost is assigned to unenforceable constraints in this case. The cost of not enforcing constraints can be specified in the OPF Constraint Options Dialog.
