simulate_DA_only: False # If True, only runs the day-ahead SCUC and skips the real-time SCED
DA_lookahead_periods: 6 #How many hours to lookahead in day-ahead SCUC (in hours
RT_resolution: 5 # Duration of each Real-Time interval in minutes (e.g., 60 = hourly)
RT_lookahead_periods: 12 # Number of future intervals (of RT_resolution length). make sure its smaller than DA_lookahead_periods
run_RTSCED_as: "MILP" #Choices are "LP" or "MILP". LP is faster (as all commitment variables from DA are fixed) but MILP gives better commitment decisions
solve_pricing_problem: True # Whether to solve the pricing problem after solving the unit commitment and economic dispatch problems. Setting this to False will speed up the simulation but will not generate locational marginal prices (LMPs) and other price signals.
branch_contingency: True #impose N-1 transmission security constraints. True or False
load_timeseries_aggregation_level: area #"node or "area". How your load_timeseries data is arranged columnwise
# For operational reserves, select "None", "fixed", "percentage", or "timeseries" data
# "fixed" = Fixed MW value, "percentage" = Demand percentage of system or zone, "timeseries" = user provided data for each period
# "fixed and "percentage" are reserve values are extracted from "reserves_default_DA.csv and reserves_default_RT.csv" file and "timeseries" are extracted from from reserves_timeseries folder
