ATC Dialog Options: Advanced Options<br />

The Advanced Options sub-tab is found on the Options page of the Available Transfer Capability<br />

dialog.<br />

The following parameters can be set on the Advanced Options sub-tab:<br />

ATC Solution Method<br />

One of the solution methods for determining the ATC of a specified transfer direction.<br />

If using either the Iterated Linear Step (IL) or (IL) then Full CTG Solution method, and the seller and<br />

buyer are either areas or super areas, and the automatic generation control method for the case is<br />

not set to area/super area control, an error message will be produced and the analysis will not<br />

continue. In the ATC analysis, transfers between areas are implemented by adding a transaction<br />

between areas which requires them to be on area interchange control in order to meet the ACE<br />

requirement. If the case was just switched to this control method without the areas already being on<br />

area control, the dispatch for the case could drastically change. The burden is left on the user to<br />

ensure that control methods are set up correctly. If the case is not already on area interchange<br />

control, but one of the island-based methods, and putting it on area control would drastically change<br />

the case, the ATC analysis can still be done between areas if injection groups are created to<br />

represent the areas and the analysis is then done using these injection groups as the seller and<br />

buyer.<br />
