Time Step Simulation: Schedule Subscriptions Page
This sub-page is found on the Input page of the Time Step Simulation dialog and is used to display all
of the schedule subscriptions and their properties. Once a schedule has been created, we can assign
an object field, such as the status of a transmission line or the MW output of a generator to the
schedule by means of a Schedule Subscription. The object field will follow the schedule "shape" in
time. The use of Schedule and Schedule Subscription objects gives us great flexibility in specifying how
quantities should vary.
The most relevant options of the local menu, obtained by right-clicking on the grid of this page are:
